Hello Educators,
In next week's airing of "Car of the Future," NOVA follows NPR Car Talk hosts Tom and Ray Magliozzi as they hit the road to examine options for cleaner, more energy-efficient vehicles. (Subjects covered: physics, energy, technology/engineering)
NOVA is launching its first ever open content Web site with this program. The site contains more than 200 one- to three-minute video clips shot during the making of the film that you and your students can download and use to make your own videos.
A Teachers section will provide you with tips for how to use these clips, ways to help your students create their videos, and ideas for incorporating these clips into your curriculum. Find the open content site at
http://www.pbs.org/nova/car/open <http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/ecard/350705-car/redir/wgbh/nova/car/open/>
We've also set up a PBS Educators' Forum discussion board for this program. We hope you'll visit the board after the program airs to talk with other educators about the show's topics, share discussion themes and activity ideas, and recommend relevant resources. Find the board at:
