Color drawings and photographs are animated in a sixty five slide multimedia presentation. One such animation shows how animals can be used in biological experiments. The program makes distinctions between careers in science and technology and outlines the background concepts and activities of professionals in specialized areas of biology. For example, it discusses the basic biological principles involved in inheritance and genetic engineering before it presents the different kinds of tasks that geneticists perform. Students see a table with a description of the various careers and the educational requirements for each area of biology.
Thought provoking questions require students to think about issues in each biological area.
When the Human Genome Project is explained in the program, the issues related to people knowing their genetic predisposition to health problems is also covered. Seven interactive tutorials are available. In one tutorial, students match the names of the different biological disciplines with clues to complete a crossword puzzle. Students may jump to different locations in the program or look up scientific terms in the glossary. They can turn off the audio portion of the program or exit the program at any time.
