This article describes 6 aids for science instruction, including (1) the use of fudge to represent lava; (2) the "Living by Chemistry" program, designed to make high school chemistry more accessible to a diverse pool of students without sacrificing content; (3) NOAA and NSTA's online coral reef teaching tool, a new web-based "science toolbox" for educators; (4) "The Visual Guide: How to Make a Healthy Lunch for Kids!", a new DVD aimed at helping kids make good nutritional choices; (5) the newly repackaged "Young Scientists" series of activity sets, including a new line of kits that correspond with "Magic School Bus" books, television shows, and DVDs; and (6) The "Tune In to Reading" program, which allows students to improve reading skills significantly while singing along to songs on the computer.
