General Biology Survey
Slide Set
Comprehensive in scope,
this set surveys major animal
phyla, and plant divisions. It
explores human and mammalian
tissues, and compares
and contrasts mono and dicot
roots, stems, and leaves. It
encompasses examples of
sexual and asexual reproduction,
and incorporates
parasitic, saprophytic, and
free-living forms. Examples
of natural textile fibers are
included as well. Set of 100
slides. Comes complete with a
handsome hardwood storage
box. Dimensions: 9" x 8" x 2".
Grades 6—12. Sh. wt. 1.02 kgs.
