                    THE NASA "WHY?" FILES

         http://whyfiles.larc.nasa.gov/new_opener.html

  The NASA "Why?" Files Series is a standards-based,
  technology focused, closed-captioned, distance learning
  initiative designed to integrate and enhance the teaching of
  mathematics, science, and technology in grades 3-5. The
  2000-2001 series titles were:
    - The Case of the Unknown Stink
    - The Case of the Barking Dogs
    - The Case of the Electrical Mystery
    - The Case of the Challenging Flight

  Each NASA "Why?" Files program includes three components:
  a 60-minute video, a teacher-parent lesson guide, and
  web-based activities and materials. The integrated video,
  teacher-parent lesson guide, and web site complement one
  another and connect the classroom, the home, the community,
  and the world.

  Re-broadcasts of the series can be found on the NASA TV
  education schedule:
