Subject: [NOVA Teachers] April 27, 2004
Hello Educators,
In next week's repeat broadcast of NOVA's "Lost Treasures of Tibet,"
travel to the Mustang region of Nepal, where a small group of
conservators work with local townspeople to preserve murals on
monastery walls. (Subjects covered: anthropology/archeology; social
studies; world history)
We hope you had a chance to visit our "World in the Balance" Web
site that accompanied this week's program, which is filled with
features and interactives related to world population issues. You
can find the site at
http://www.pbs.org/nova/worldbalance/
If you have visited the site, we hope you will take a few minutes to
provide us with feedback about its features so that we can continue
to best meet your classroom needs. Find a site survey at "Review
This Site" in the site's Resources section.
Please note that there has been a change in our upcoming schedule.
In two weeks, we will be airing "Battle Plan Under Fire," a new NOVA
program about the evolving science of war. The previously scheduled
repeat "Secrets, Lies, and Atomic Spies" will not air that week.
In the coming weeks:
May 4 -- Battle Plan Under Fire
http://www.pbs.org/nova/wartech/
May 11 -- varies (check your local listings)
May 18 -- Wright Brothers' Flying Machine (R)
