            <description>WOW lessons are designed for infusion into the existing science curriculums for college freshmen and advanced high school students. The lessons use the aquatic environment and real lake data to explore basic science concepts through two different approaches: a directed study (&#1524;Studying&#1524;) and an inquiry (&#1524;Investigating&#1524;) approach. The directed studies allow students to apply and learn concepts through direct, guided experience. The inquiry lessons provide a more open-ended opportunity for students to discover the same concepts. This module was selected as the 2005 Classics Award Winner of the Biology Discipline because it allows students to analyze real environmental data collected in several lakes over long periods of time.  In addition the site provides sound pedagogical tools to help the students apply basic scientific concepts to analyze and understand the data.</description>

            <description>Thousands of FREE, short, online videos that are focused on explaining and modeling the learning of specific topics in math (basic arithmetic and math to calculus), statistics, biology, physics, chemistry, finance, and other topics. The topics cover K-12 levels and higher education. The simple and clear presented information enables learners to see and review the topics and how to solve the problems at their pace with as much practice as they wish.  In particular there are over a thousand videos just for mathematics.  The site also contains a handful of interactive mathematics learning objects that are of the drill and practice type.</description>
