We are a Vermont-based, family owned and operated business specializing in the production of quality educational science videos and materials.  \nWe have a long family tradition of education. Our grandmothers graduated from normal school in the 1920’s to become teachers. Brian’s mother was an elementary teacher and guidance counselor, and his father was a high school teacher and superintendent. This family tradition inspired Brian to become a science teacher, and [to earn a Ph.D. in](to earn a Ph.D. in) education, and led Stephanie to work on science educational programs at NASA.  \nIn developing this video, accompanying teacher’s guide, and student activities, our goal is to provide educators with the highest quality materials, thus enabling students to be successful. In this era of more demanding standards and assessment  \nrequirements, supplementary materials need to be curricular and standards based-this is what we do!  \nOur videos and accompanying materials focus on the key concepts and vocabulary required by national and state standards and goals.
