Four lessons (Cell Types, Meristems, Plant Organs and Tissues) are available to study and may be accessed individually by clicking the appropriate menu bar item above.

Text and photographs are used within each lesson. Positioning the mouse over active text (words in bold) will bring up additional information and highlight specific items on the photograph in the Cell Types, Meristems and Tissues lessons. The Plant Organ lesson works differently; the entire image is "active" and by positioning the mouse over any cell on the image, textual information appears to the right.

Additional navigational aids may appear in the lower right corner of some screens. Click on the next or previous button to navigate.

This interactive program was developed to supplement the laboratory exercises in Biology 50 (Biology of Plants) at Nebraska Wesleyan University by Dr. Dale Benham, Associate Professor of Biology. All correspondence concerning this program should be directed to him.
