NASA ONLINE VIDEOS PROVIDE NEW APPROACH TO TEACH SCIENCE TO PUBLIC
WASHINGTON -- NASA's new video series offers the public a fast and fun
way to learn about scientific discoveries and facts about Earth, the
solar system and beyond.
Called "ScienceCasts," the videos are created by an astrophysicist and
a team of agency narrators and videographers. The videos are posted
online every Thursday afternoon at approximately 4 p.m. EDT. The
format is designed to increase understanding of the world of science
through simple, clear presentations.
"If you want entertaining, yet very informative, these videos are for
you," said Ruth Netting, manager for communications and public
engagement in NASA's Science Mission Directorate in Washington.
Future episodes will focus on citizen science research; the search for
new galaxies; how to watch this summer's Perseid meteor shower; and
the causes of recent wild weather events in the United States.
NASA's Science Mission Directorate seeks new knowledge and
understanding of Earth, the sun, solar system and the universe. The
directorate also constantly looks for inventive ways to reach out to
the public via museums, classrooms, science centers and home schools.
