Cell Structure & Function CD-ROM
This interactive CD-ROM tackles the complex subject of cell structure and function,
teaching students through interactive activities, detailed photographs, detailed 3-D
models, and more. Students can build plant, animal, and prokaryotic cells; take quizzes
on cell function; learn about cell specialization; and read definitions of different cells
and their functions. Program features text-to-speech, captioning, full keyboard control,
and compatibility with switch devices to allow the program to be used by the blind and
physically challenged. Sh. wt. 0.50 lbs.
SB42909M CD-ROM — $74.10
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: Windows ® 2000/XP/Vista, Pentium ® II, 32 MB RAM, 75 MB of hard
drive space; Macintosh ® OS 10.3.9 or later, 30 MB RAM.
Meiosis Kit
Brings the process of meiosis to life through hands-on interaction, allowing for a more
enjoyable teaching and learning experience. Kit includes teacher demonstration models
consisting of 30 large chromosomes arranged in five colorful sets that can be seen
on your board from the back of the class. Each set consists of a maternal and paternal
homolog and four sister chromatids. Alleles and parental lineage are clearly defined.
The fifth set has removable alleles for demonstrating crossover. Also includes five sets
of smaller student models (17 manipulatives each), activity guide, instructional CD, and
teacher manual. Grades 7-12. Sh. wt. 8 lbs.
SB47747M — $328.75
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: Windows® XP or higher; Macintosh® OS 9X and higher.
DNA/Chromosome Staining Lab
Students prepare their own squashed stained slide and are
able to identify the phases of plant mitosis and chromosomal
development. Students will be able to prepare,
stain, and mount slides using specially prepared onion
root tips. Includes preserved root tips, two bottles of
6M hydrochloric acid, two bottles of toluidine blue
1.0% solution, microscope slides, coverslips, 30 aluminum
dishes, and 30 forceps. Contains enough material
for 15 students/groups. Sh. wt. 2.75 lbs.
SB46573M — $68.75
Cell Mitosis Model
This model has eight
pieces to show the main
stages of mitosis (prophase,
metaphase, anaphase, and
telophase). Each piece is
enlarged approx. 10,000
times and is mounted on
a board. Each stage can be
easily taken off for closer
study. Dimensions: 20½" x
15" x 2½". Sh. wt. 14 lbs.
SB47760M — $171.40
The Magic of Cells
Using live-action video and sensational computer
animation, this three-lesson video introduces the
viewer to the amazing world of the cell. Lesson One
defines the cell as the smallest living unit. The general
characteristics of cells are illustrated. Lesson Two
guides the viewer on an amazing voyage through
the parts of a cell including the membrane, cytoplasm,
and many organelles. Lesson Three examines
the extraordinary diversity of cells. A variety of cell
shapes, structures, and adaptations are presented. 20
minutes. Grade 5 and up. Sh. wt. 0.56 lbs.
SB46127M DVD — $35.65
Cell Structure
Students have the opportunity to observe the major components of plant and animal
cells using simplified staining procedures. The function of the cell membrane is demonstrated,
and both plant and animal cells are compared. Living cells are observed, showing
cytoplasmic streaming and chemical activity. The relationship between structure and
function on the cellular and subcellular level is also discussed. Complete classroom kit.

Visualizing Cells Poster
This large visual reference of the structure and function of a cell graphically depicts
the complex architecture of a cell membrane, golgi apparatus, nucleus and nuclear
pores, endoplasmic reticulum, chloroplasts, and mitochondria in an easy-to-see,
easy-to-understand format. Detailed illustrations and photography are perfect for
instructing your class about the differences and similarities of bacterial, animal, and
plant cells. Laminated. Measures 35" W x 23" H. Grades 7-12. Sh. wt. 0.50 lbs.
