Bring Traditional Science Topics to Life with NOVA's Nature!

My Take

The resources on the site offer a variety of topics. The reading level of the articles is fairly high and there is nothing to support low readers with the content in the articles. However, the interactives and slide shows contain a mix of reading and video so the content in those is accessible to most students. The videos are also accessible but the full episodes are the traditional NOVA videos - close to an hour in length, which is too long for most students to maintain interest. There are video shorts available that show specific concepts, including several scientist interviews. This site does not provide curriculum or correlations to the NGSS standards. Instead, it is up to the teacher to determine what resource(s) are needed to teach the desired concepts and meet the desired standards.
