DLESE description of Science Bulletins

The Science Bulletins Web site - Earth - brings free, current science to the general public, informal learning centers, and classrooms. The Earth Science Bulletins present ongoing research and recent discoveries in the Earth sciences. The bulletin has three types of stories: features, data visualizations, and weekly news snapshots. A video and editorial crew follows scientists into the field to capture original video material and interview scientists about their work-in-progress for the feature stories, which are presented as high-definition videos for informal learning centers and as rich-media collections on the Web. Data visualizations, presented in high-resolution for informal learning centers and in interactive formats on the Web, are based on satellite data sets from NASA, NOAA, and other sources for the Earth section. A free Educator-s guide and learning activities tailored to the changing content are provided for the Science Bulletins Web site.
