Nature of Light: Light as Waves

Wave Goodbye

This Science Object brought clarity to the topic of waves, using light waves as the primary basis for understanding. The discussion of wave phenomena and how they interact with each other was quite enlightening. The use of light waves for various practical applications such as heating food in a microwave or killing cancerous cells would be useful when explaining the conceptual framework of this topic to my students. NSTA Resources ROCK!

Divide and....?

The "Cell Division and Differentiation" SciPack was another fascinating foray into an NSTA resource. The information I gleaned from this resource gives me the confidence to open new avenues of understanding for my students; the resource also will prove invaluable to helping me assess understanding of the concepts taught! I don't think I can continue to find the superlatives to express my appreciation of the depth and clarity of NSTA's resources.

Your Cell or Mine?

Super exhaustive Science Object! The minute details captured by this science object were not only enlightening but exciting. Key knowledge that was enhanced by this resource was the fact that every cell in an organism has the exact same DNA; the differences in the structure and function of each cell is a result of gene expression. A thorough elucidation for teachers which will surely lead to more helpful understanding of students questions! NSTA resources continue to ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!
