The Passport to Knowledge series uses multiple media and hands-on activities to allow students to simulate the science seen on camera and online in their own classrooms. Activities can be adapted up or down in grade, and also provide connections to math, social studies, language arts, and technology while meeting the National Science Education standards. To be eligible, a teacher must complete a standard membership application form and submit documentation showing that he or she is currently teaching in either public or private school.
