About The Science Companion Teaching DVDs…

We believe that a teacher’s job consists of much more than the arduous duty of preparing lessons—the most important being managing the classroom so there is quality interaction between teacher and student. We also believe there are no electronic or scientific advances that can replace the teacher in the classroom. However, we do know from wide experience that quality materials can help tremendously.

Textbook Tapes® is dedicated to producing such materials for making teaching easier while enhancing performance. So we are pleased to tell you about our company’s latest development which we believe achieves these goals.

We have produced companion teaching videos and a textbook on many of these topics. The 12 topics that make up the Biological Sciences Series are now ready. These companion teaching videos and textbook (along with the overview video) present, in a logical format, everything needed for a full unit’s work: lesson plans, objectives, vocabulary study, comprehensive up-to-date lessons, questions and answers, and a final test with answers in the teacher’s edition of the textbook.

This advanced teaching concept presents many advantages. It emphasizes the teacher’s role in teaching while largely eliminating the drudgery of lesson preparation. It will enhance student participation, interest, and learning. It will allow the teacher to better control the time and pace of discussion—and even student behavior. It will also reduce the monotony of hourly verbal repetition of the same material for different classes.

We are absolutely sure that these companion teaching videos and textbook will allow you to be a more effective teacher every teaching hour of the day.

Each unit of the Biological Sciences Series has two videos. The first video contains a lesson on vocabulary and two in-depth lessons on the subject. The second video is a comprehensive review of the entire subject. There are numerous places in the videos (marked with a star symbol) which will allow you to use the pause button on your remote control to stop and expand the discussion with your own knowledge of the subject—and to discuss interactive questions and topics before answers and/or comments are given.

The companion teaching videos contain everything in them that is in the textbook. The teacher edition includes the text from the video and the final test and answer key. The student edition of the textbook is identical to the teacher’s edition except that the answers and the final test have been deleted.

With your first order you will receive one teacher’s edition of the textbook and one student edition of the textbook. If you order all 12 units in the Biological Sciences Series you will receive FREE an additional 30 student textbooks ($598.50 value).

CIRCULATORY SYSTEM
This unit takes a look at the human circulatory system. The student will see that this system not only brings nutrients and oxygen to cells but also ferries wastes away and distributes a variety of substances throughout the body. The unit concentrates on seven major areas: the heart; arteries, veins, and capillaries; coronary circulation; pulmonary circulation; systemic circulation; renal circulation; and portal circulation. The diseases and disorders of the circulatory system are also discussed. [color, 2 videos] $89.95 INS009
