Mosses - The Secret Life

System requirements:

DVD player

A combination of videos of living plants and three dimensional animations. Combining images of living plant stages with computer simulations allows you to easily bridge the gap between the familiar plant and the micro-environment contained within it. Place yourself inside a moss plant! Computer animations take you in inside a clump of moss plants to illustrate external structure. You are then transported inside the tips of male and femlae stems where gametangia (sex organs) sperm release, fertilisation and embryo development are illustrated. There are three levels of increasing complexity: 1. Simple - no terminology or breaks, 8m:7s; 2. Intermediate - simple terminology and divided into sections with summaries, 13m:15s; 3. Advanced - contains scientific terminology, divided into sections, 11:59s.
