PROVIDED FREE OF CHARGE TO SCHOOLS
THROUGH CORPORATE SUPPORT
SCIENCE SCREEN REPORT and SCIENCE SCREEN REPORT FOR KIDS are two fascinating series of educational DVDs designed to encourage scientific literacy by piquing the curiosity of the next generation of scientific, business and academic leaders about a broad range of dynamic, cutting-edge innovations.
SCIENCE SCREEN REPORT is produced to directly address National Science Standards and Science Literacy Benchmarks. Each show is approximately 15 minutes in length and can be viewed during a class period with time remaining for open discussion.
Each program (offered on DVD as well as MPEG for school system streaming) offers stimulating visions of our hi-tech world at work, helping students form an appreciation for the subjects that will encourage them to continue their studies, and perhaps even pursue an exciting career in the sciences.
SCIENCE SCREEN REPORT and SCIENCE SCREEN REPORT FOR KIDS are produced by Allegro Productions, Inc., a former Time Inc. company. The Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology and a panel of dedicated educators help in the production of the programs.
After more than 40 years of production, the series continues to receive the highest accolades from the academic community. In addition, we are proud participants in the National Science Foundation's Presidential Awards for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching. For more than ten years we funded the SCIENCE SCREEN REPORT Award through The National Science Teachers Association's Awards program. Our materials have been used in the Smithsonian Institute's Teacher Resource Center, and are listed in the resource guides of the Eisenhower National Clearinghouse, the U.S. Department of Energy, the U.S. Department of Education, and many other state and local agencies.
One lasting and important feature of SCIENCE SCREEN REPORT and SCIENCE SCREEN REPORT FOR KIDS is that each issue becomes the permanent property of the school district. Where applicable, we grant duplication and performance rights to suit a variety of audiences including closed circuit instructional television networks.
TEACHER GUIDES:
A comprehensive teacher guide, prepared by our education committee, accompanies each issue. The guides provide lesson strategies, a program overview, topical background information, suggestions for critical thought, discussion and further study, a glossary, career possibilities, and related references and web sites to supplement each topic.
More than 600 companies sponsor the programs to more than 7,000 schools around the country, each receiving the program free of charge. Allegro Productions, Inc. is responsible for the content of the series and treats each subject in a positive and objective manner.
