Using The Rainforest
The Rainforest is divided into two main areas: a set of chapters which describe the main characteristics of rainforests and a detailed guide to animals and plants of the Rainforests of the World.
Moving around The Rainforest
On the left hand side of the screen you'll find a series of five picture buttons, representing the five major chapters of The Rainforest. Click on one of these chapters to go to that chapter. Click on the current chapter button (hilighted in red) to get a list of contents for that chapter.
Click on a section name to go to the chosen section.
On the right hand side of the screen are the picture buttons representing the various plant and animal groups found in the rainforests of the world. To see the names of these chapters and to access help information, click on the 'ZooGuides' logo at the top right hand side of the screen. Click on the 'ZooGuides' logo a second time to hide the names again.
Picture and video material
When you are within a chapter you will find picture or video material on each page. Each video or slide show sequence has a slider bar underneath it. Click on the video picture to load the video. Once the video is loaded, click on the forward arrow on the slider bar to run the video sequence. Click again to stop the sequence.
Most still pictures will enlarge to fill the central area of the screen. To enlarge or reduce a picture, click on it.
Sound, Printing and Exit functions
From within the directory Rainforest you can adjust the level of the narration at any time by depressing the sound button at the left hand end of the video slider bar.
The text of each screen from The Rainforest can be found in the Mac folder 'Rainforest Text' on the CD-ROM disk. You can access and format this text from within a word processor such as ClarisWorks¬ or Microsoft Word¬.
Click on the 'Quit' button to exit The Rainforest.
