"The video...introduces an interdisciplinary math, science, and language arts project. Students learn about and apply laws of motion, linear, functions, and technical reporting as they design and present an ultimate roller coaster. The videos are best used as a "table of contents" to the resource-rich Web site." -- back cover.

"The Web site provides all the materials created and used by the teacher and students featured in the video, materials you can print, adapt for your purposes, or use as a starting point for your own project.  It includes specific descriptions of project activities, teacher narratives describing organization strategies, handouts and organizers for group work, alignment to content standards, assessments and self-management tools, classroom and workgroup arrangements, and many student work samples." -- back cover.

"Delivered to you; the classrooms @ work / tools @ hand project, a series of videos, CD's and websites that together unfold the four walls of real classrooms that work, using technology." -- video.
