A World Alive
(Macintosh/Windows Hybrid CD-ROM)
Your students can splash in the Atlantic with a humpback whale, tunnel underground with leaf-cutter ants, see a Pacific Ridley sea turtle take its first swim, and watch a northern elephant seal give birth. James Earl Jones narrates a spectacular 30-minute documentary compiled by Sea Studios in collaboration with the San Diego Zoo. Linked to the film is an interactive program which showcases the more than 100 species featured in the documentary and presents beautiful illustrations of each animal along with a wealth of information. Do you know where the monarch butterfly winters? What the chatter of dolphins sounds like? How long an African elephant is pregnant? What the ghost crab eats? The answers are all here, along with a challenging game that will test what you've learned and teach you more. A World Alive illuminates the cycle of life on our planet and our responsibility to protect its astonishing diversity. Price: $79.95 Internal Code: 2224232
