"If we want the
children to teach to compete and to love science, then
we must provide the tools of science to them at an early
age. . . .
This DVD package provides a plethora of
learning opportunities for students. . .. Now I have
it all in one place ---safety, mass, volume, length,
temperature, and microscope --- along with one terrific
video.
It is exactly what I do, and the standards are
linked, too. For a former scientist who is now a science
teacher, it doesn't get any better than this!"
