NOVA - FREE LIBRARY GUIDE
Dear Librarian:
2005 marks the centennial of Einstein's famous equation E =
mc2. In celebration, NOVA is offering a free library guide in
connection with Einstein's Big Idea, a two-hour special about the
people behind the equation. The program airs on PBS October 11, 2005
from 8 to 10pm (check
local listings as dates and times may vary).
The 32-page library guide contains a poster, display sheets,
reproducible handouts, and hands-on science activities-all designed to
help visitors of all ages explore E = mc2. These materials can be used
to launch or supplement displays and programs to spark visitors
curiosity and inspire deeper investigations using the resources of your
library.
The library guide will be distributed in August to public libraries nationwide. Start planning now by visiting NOVA Online ( http://www.pbs.org/nova/einstein) where you'll find an
online version of the guide as well as a preview clip of the program.
Thank you,
Ellen Robinson
