The designers of this multi-award winner know
exactly what interactive multimedia is all about.
Set on a fictitious lake, the students need to
collect information to solve problems. Investigate
the mangroves,estuaries, open lake or urban area.
Use the on-screen scientific instruments, access
text and make decisions. A great one for senior
secondary Science and Geography classes.
