Review & Description

Celestron Sky Maps are the ideal teaching guide for learning the night sky. You wouldn't set off on a road trip without a road map, and you doni?{1/2}t need to try to navigate the night sky without a map either. Even if you already know your way around the major constellations, these maps can help you locate all kinds of fascinating objects.

The front cover has a specially designed luminous planisphere that rotates to simulate the seasonal progression of celestial objects through the sky. When the planisphere is pre-exposed to light, star positions glow brightly against a dark background, mimicking actual constellations.

More than a thousand stars and deep-sky objects are listed and charted. The illustrated reference section provides basic information and the visual characteristics of various types of stars, nebulae and galaxies. The maps measure 13" x 11" and are printed on a heavyweight, moisture resistant card stock. The pages have a special comb binding so they can lay flat or be folded over.

Review & Description

Cat Dissection Simulation Designed for more advanced students, the CatWorks CD-ROM offers the user an opportunity to perform exciting, highly accurate, electronic dissections of the common house cat. Through the use of special cursors and buttons, the user is actually able to "dissect" nearly all areas of the cat's anatomy. QuickTime movies show selected portions of actual dissections along with voice descriptions of the procedures being performed. CatWorks certainly offers an excellent alternative to sacrificing an animal, and it can serve as a perfect pre-lab activity or post-lab follow-up to other types of laboratory activities and without the dangers of preservatives and sharp instruments. Without a doubt, this will rapidly become a "must-have" item in every well-equipped science classroom or science minded student. Call 800.478.8476 if you have questions.

Review & Description

Master teacher Paul Hewitt teaches non-computational Conceptual Physics. Observe Hewitt teach in a classroom with real students, using engaging demonstrations and artwork. DVD Includes Episodes: Introduction: Paul Hewitt talks about teaching physics conceptually and his earlier efforts at videotaping. Short segments of demonstrations done in 1974 and 1984 are shown. We see Paul's opening day lecture at his fall 1989 conceptual physics class at the University of Hawaii, during which Paul poses some thought-provoking questions about the physical world. The introduction is designed to give a flavor of what the Conceptual Physics course is all about. Segment length: 37 minutes Linear Motion: Concepts of speed, velocity, and acceleration are introduced and supported with a variety of examples. The effect of air resistance on falling objects is also discussed. Segment length: 33 minutes Vectors and Projectiles: Vector addition and vector resolution are explained, using examples such as airplanes flying in the wind and projectile motion. The idea of the independence of the horizontal and vertical components of motion for projectiles is introduced. Segment length: 47 minutes
