Free In-Class Resource For Science Teachers

modernphysics writes "Canada's non-profit and independent Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics is now providing a free in-class, educational resource for high-school science teachers to help guide students through interesting topics in modern physics. The first module on 'The Mystery of Dark Matter' can be viewed online and features a 25-minute video, teacher's guide with hands-on demonstrations, and student activity sheets in Word format that can be edited to suit individual classes. This resource helps fulfill the number one request from the hundreds of high-school teachers who attend the popular EinsteinPlus Workshops on Modern Physics at PI each summer — to have access to enrichment materials for students in grades 11 and 12 in a flexible, comprehensive, and easy-to-use format that makes abstract ideas visual and shares the joys of research and discovery."

Re:Go, open standards.

Well, on the one hand, it's free so you can't complain too much and on the other hand is a glove... er, well, perhaps these very nice folks that donated their time and resources for this project might also come out with version 2 in ODF formats.

Can we get some volunteers to send them OpenOffice? and some training materials? Perhaps some of those that would just complain might put together a nice email with links or send them some CDs?
