Modern Biology
Cellular Respiration

Client:

Holt, Rinehart and Winston

Audience:

High-school biology students

Goal:

Provide supplementary interactive software to support Holt, Rinehart and Winston's Modern Biology textbook. Cellular Respiration is one of a three-title series. Other disks include Photosynthesis and Genetics.

Role:

Concept development; creative and technical design; script writing, illustration, and animation; programming, testing, and project management.

. . . The MODERN BIOLOGY Computerized Laboratories software series combines computer simulations of biological experiments with selected tutorials to enrich and expand students' understanding of concepts learned in the Modern Biology textbook.

The Cellular Respiration program presents four experiments designed to foster progressively deeper insight into the process of cellular respiration. These simulations replicate as closely as possible the logic of actual laboratory experiments. They lead students to apply the scientific method: to observe, question, experiment, record, analyze, and interpret results. In addition, highly graphic, interactive tutorials support the simulations. The tutorials provide motivating content review.
