The characteristics of saltwater and freshwater environments are clearly described, as are the plants and animals that call these watery regions home. The importance of evolution and adaptation for aquatic species is emphasized. A viewable/printable instructor’s guide is available online. A Cambridge Educational Production. (19 minutes)
