This site is designed as a supplement to laboratory dissections exploring introductory mammalian anatomy and physiology - it is basic and many details have been omitted for clarity.  We hope that it is suitable for AP Biology students or for students of introductory anatomy and physiology at the college level. We have revised this site to improve the learning experience and accessibility. Please see the "About" page for more details and contact information. We hope you find it useful and enjoy using it!

The Symphony of Science is a musical project of John D Boswell, designed to deliver scientific knowledge and philosophy in musical form. The project owes its existence in large measure to the classic PBS Series Cosmos, by Carl Sagan, Ann Druyan, and Steve Soter, as well as all the other featured figures and visuals. Continuation of the videos relies on generous support from fans and followers. You can make a donation if you wish to contribute support to the project. Thanks to everybody who has donated - enjoy what you find!

"The Education program for Biodiversity Snapshots was developed by Museum Victoria and is designed to have strong links to the Victorian curriculum, although the ideas could be adapted for any curriculum.
