This exciting series of 5 interactive CD-ROMs provides a detailed insight into the flora and fauna of Australia's beautiful, and sometimes inhospitable, natural environments.
Informative introductions describe the features and importance of each environment before introducing the flora and fauna that live in, and depend on, these unique habitats.
Throughout the programs, clearly presented facts and information, such as how farmers make use of Green Tree Ants or the eating habits of the Northern Quoll, combine to create a genuine understanding and appreciation of why our ecosystems are so special.
A plain-English glossary is only a click away when unusual terms or references are encountered. These words are highlighted and can also be listened to when clicked.
Here is an opportunity to watch some amazing video clips, frame-by-frame, like that of the Bilby as it forages at night or the White-bellied Sea Eagle as it snatches a meal from an inland lake. Or print any of the many images, like those shown below, for use in projects and study materials.
Here and there you can listen to the sounds of these ecosystems as if you were there, and in some cases that of the inhabitants. Have you ever heard the grunt of a Koala?
Challenging quizzes and fun learning games check the knowledge that has been retained. The results and time-taken for these exercises are recorded and can also be printed.
There are also some very interesting questions and project suggestions that have been included to encourage deeper thought, and perhaps further research, into Australia's ecosystems.
You will find this series to be a valued and enjoyed addition to your reference library or classroom.
