Instructional Purpose and Usage Scenario

• Slides 4-18 are intended to be used as a book.
  The book can be printed, laminated, and bound
  informally. It can also be presented as a Power
  Point presentation that includes the audio and
  video links on slides 8 and 16.
• The book/presentation is central to a several
  week unit on the human body. The first lesson
  would cover the book. The audio and video links
  for cells, tissues, organs, and systems are not
  necessarily intended to be used at the same time,
  but more likely as the set for individual lessons
  on the components.
