Instructor’s Manual

Prepared by Peter Castro, this helpful ancillary provides student learning outcomes for each chapter, chapter outlines and summaries, a listing of audiovisuals and software, and answers to the Critical Thinking questions within the text. Instructors will also find suggestions on presenting concepts to students and organizing materials for class presentation. The instructor’s manual can be accessed via the password-protected portion of the Marine Biology Website.

Test Bank

A computerized test bank utilizing testing software to quickly create customized exams is available with this text. The user-friendly software allows instructors to search for questions by topic or format, edit existing questions or add new ones, and scramble questions to create multiple versions of the same test. Word files of the test bank questions are provided for those instructors who prefer to work outside the test-generator software.

Laboratory Exercises

Ideal for a one-quarter or one-semester course, this collection of eight laboratories and field investigations in marine biology has been specially designed for use in conjunction with the eighth edition of Marine Biology. Each of the exercises includes review questions that integrate information learned in the laboratory or field with material covered in the text. The exercises can be accessed via the password-protected portion of the Marine Biology Website.

McGraw-Hill: Biology Digitized Video Clips

Licensed from some of the highest-quality science video producers in the world, these brief segments range from about five seconds to just under three minutes in length and cover all areas of general biology from cells to ecosystems. Includes video clips on coral reef ecosystems, mitosis, clam locomotion, plankton diversity, salt marsh ecology, sponge reproduction, and much more!
