It is based on lectures at CalTech for the first two physics courses most of which is gone over in an advanced or AP high school course. I have viewed laser discs on physical science and they too are very dry. I personally think that when the laser disk is a presentation of facts then the disk is a waste of money. Now, when the laser disk is interesting and requires thinking on the part of the student then I am for the disk. The laser disk on oceanography is good because we have to think and the student is engaged.
Laser disks are very good for biology when the teacher has no models in the classroom.
There is a laser disc that accompanies the packet of teacher materials with the biology text by Oram. Unfortunately, the one my cooperating teacher inherited did not have the laser disc. But if you are using that text in your class, you might look for one.
