Self-contained, hands-on, standards-based teaching modules for electronics, magnetism & optics. The QUESTBOARDS project operates like a local lending library which provides several components. They are available for use in your classroom this week.
Features and benefits of QUESTBOARD teaching modules:

* Self-contained: no other materials are needed, boards were designed to be complete upon delivery
* Fully visible: boards are made of clear plastic that will easily fit on a table top and all parts can be easily seen (no mysterious "magic" electronics going on)
* Standards-based: lessons designed and tested by teachers for teachers and are tied to specific grade-level science content standards
* Brought to you: delivery and pick-up by UCSB undergraduate engineering students
* Come with support: in addition to the teacher's guide, udergraduates are available for content support before the lesson (for the teacher) and/or during the lesson (for the students) AND you can arrange for a teacher workshopor tutorial at your school, for a refresher about the science behind any or all of the QUESTBOARDS - led by a science teacher familiar with standards and lesson planning!
