interact™ Secondary Biology is a comprehensive resource that examines cellular structures and processes. Students explore systems in plants and animals that increase their survival chances in changing environmental conditions. This strong foundation leads students to a study of genetics, the history of evolution and the implications and issues arising from the use of gene technology. Student Home Use License contains 30 CDs and entitles 30 students to home use rights. Your school must own a network unlimited license for the specific subject of the Student Home Use License you wish to purchase.
