NATURAL SCIENCE is the first nationally distributed book from the National Science Foundation sponsored Visionlearning project. This project brings together educators from the life sciences, physical sciences and earth sciences to develop high-quality interdisciplinary teaching materials that adhere to the National Science Education Standards. NATURAL SCIENCE, by Anthony Carpi, Anne E. Egger, and Alfred L. Rosenberger, and the companion laboratory manual feature succinct, targeted lessons written specifically for interdisciplinary science teaching that have been cited by the National Science Teachers Association for educational excellence. Unlike many science texts that have been described as "a mile wide and an inch thick," this text is specifically designed to succinctly highlight core scientific principles while achieving a significant cost-savings for you and your students. NATURAL SCIENCE also features free access to the award-winning Visionlearning website, http://www.visionlearning.com. This website provides interactive animations, relevant news stories, scientific biographies, original text research articles and other features integrated into each lesson to expand your teaching possibilities and bring science to life. The website contains glossary terms that link to pop-up definitions, interactive practice tests that allow students to check their understanding immediately, and Spanish translations of the lessons to facilitate bilingual education.
