Hello Educators,
Just in time for the school year, NOVA is making its popular magazine-style show, NOVA scienceNOW, available for download.
The fast-paced 8- to 15-minute segments are ideal for classroom use. Each one-hour episode includes science topics in several disciplines and an inspirational researcher profile. Companion Web sites for each segment extend the topics presented in each show.
Launched in 2005, NOVA scienceNOW is hosted by astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson and a team of correspondents who find creative new ways to engage viewers in the latest discoveries and breakthroughs from an array of scientific fields—from health and biomedicine to astronomy and Earth science.
More than 20 segments are currently available for download at http://www.pbs.org/nova/sciencenow/download
Next week's NOVA broadcast will vary depending upon where you live. To find out which program is airing in your region, check your local listings at:
