PBS LearningMedia is a nationwide PBS website that offers free online resources for its currently 1.4 million registered users, including teachers and students. Recently, PBS LearningMedia contacted Inside Science, AIP’s editorially independent science news program for the general public. They asked if they could be added to the PBS LearningMedia site. Inside Science has provided an initial batch of Inside Science TV videos for the site, which teachers may use in their classrooms. Inside Science selected some of its most popular videos, such as Ping Pong Balls Break the Sound Barrier, a story from Inside Science TV executive producer Karin Heineman. The PBS pages include supplemental educational information on the videos, such as recommended grade levels and connection of the story topics to national science education standards. Inside Science is very excited about this new development with PBS LearningMedia.
