Digital Images and Video for Teaching Science

by: Lynn Bell and John C. Park

New technologies have revolutionized our ability to see and learn scientific phenomena. Reasonably priced digital still and video cameras have recently become popular additions to many classrooms, and teachers use them regularly to document student learning activities for newsletters, websites, and electronic slideshows. In addition, the advent of the internet has opened up a limitless supply of images and videos on every imaginable science topic. This free chapter will focus on how science teachers can take advantage of the digital images and video available to them on the web, as well as on how to engage students in capturing their own images and video in the process of learning science. It includes the Table of Contents, Preface, and the Index.
