The June 2005 report of the President’s Information Technology Advisory Council stated that “Computational science is now indispensable to the solution of complex problems in every sector, from traditional science and engineering domains to such key areas as national security, public health, and economic innovation”
(PITAC 2005). To help teachers meet this challenging task, the Computational Science Education Reference Desk (CSERD), a portal to the National Science Digital Library, catalogs lessons and tools for teaching with computational science. CSERD’s search tool is available for free to teachers and students, as are most of the resources housed within (Joiner et al. 2005).
