Introducing students to lab equipment and tools used in science research, the Tools in Science series is comprised of four programs (each running about 20 minutes)—Lab Equipment Safety, Measuring Mass and Volume, Measuring Length and Temperature, and The Microscope—that cover a wide variety of topics, including a review of common lab equipment and safety, various types of rulers and thermometers, reading the metric system, the differences between Celsius and Fahrenheit, glass and digital thermometers, scales and cylinders, and the components of a microscope. Correlated to National Science Education Standards, the series also features a teacher's guide with activities and assessment tools, and DVD extras such as a glossary, indexes, labeled slides, and an iMovie project. Highly recommended. Aud: I, J, P. (L. Stevens)
