The programs in the series also help students experience the underwater environment through problem-solving situations and lessons in how animals adapt and survive in the ocean. This month the ITV schedule has a plethora of science programs springing forth for all students. Amazing footage, computer graphics, and SciFax will pique your students' curiosity. Have students create a database for each order in the animal kingdom using information gathered from the video and websites. Have students include Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Genus, Order, and Species.
Students can then enter photographs and pictures and place on a class or school web site.
Your students will enter the dynamic world of shocks, rocks, and gems. They will observe computer-created stress tests that shock absorbers must go through. A visit to the Smithsonian will reveal techniques geologists use to analyze new rock specimens. Students will also get a peek at the renovated Hall of Gems and Minerals. Have students create their own guide for discovering new rock specimens.
