Editorial Review
The objective of this multimedia/exploration program is for students to learn about avian behavior, anatomy, challenges to survival, and remarkable roles in mythology and art. Students take a guided tour through a virtual natural history museum. The museum has three main rooms., corridors, and various galleries. Each room groups graphics and artifacts by topic, and all displays include text. Visit the section on Birds of Prey and see a ten-second video of the world's largest bird of prey, the Andean Condor; learn about the importance of the falcon to the Egyptian culture; or turn a stuffed Eurasia Kestrel 360 degrees for 16 different views. See the world from a vulture's viewpoint where the central portion of the visual field is magnified 2.5 times. Learn about bird habitats from around the globe. Learn about courtship, nesting, feeding, or anatomy. Other galleries hold exhibits on flight patterns with migration maps, environmental factors affecting bird population, endangered species, songs and calls where users can listen to birds like canaries and owls, and birds in art where some artwork can be rotated to view all sides. A navigation icon displays a map of the current location and can be used to move to another part of the museum Bird Behavior covers topics such as courtship, hatching, nesting, and feeding. In the Anatomy Room, students can explore bird structure in four layers - exterior, muscles, organs, and skeleton. The mouse can be turned into an x-ray window to see body parts in greater detail. Exhibits in this section also include wings and flight, feathers, senses, and respiration. Other galleries have displays and activities about bird watching, flight patterns, songs and calls, bird beaks, and birds in art Cached date: AWS Called=true
