5.0 out of 5 stars Finally! Students get excited about plants!, November 19, 1998

By	A. Marshall (Homestead, Florida USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I've taught biology many years and found no way to interest students in plants--until I began using these videos. I even had students naming the unit as their favorite in the year end evaluation. By allowing students to see the actions of plants on a more familiar time scale, the videos reveal fascinating features of these organisms we usually take for granted. Just beautiful!

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstandig, teaching, entertaining, October 1, 1999

By A Customer

As usual in all David's Attenborough documentaries, Private Life of Plants is another step ahead in Documentaries. New filming techniques, and the work of Attenborough give us beautiful and amazing pictures that show us precisely the natural processes palnts must undergo in their lives. Speed up pictures, really close shots approach us to an insect point of sight and enables us to see exactly the delicately balanced interactions taht take place in plants world. A real must see.
