DE Science Techbook

I am beginning to learn about a new tool by Discovery Education, called DE Science Techbook. It’s only available/aligned to some state curriculum and IL is not one of them yet. At first I thought Discovery had just put together their famous video collection by curriculum but I was very wrong. Each unit is broken down into 5 learning sections: engage, explore, explain, elaborate, and evaluate. Within the learning areas there are visually appealing pdf files, videos, activities, and virtual labs. In addition, each unit has an interactive glossary. The organization and interaction make this a wonderful addition to the DE programs.
