NURTURES created several one-minute learning segments with a local PBS station, WGTE.
These learning segments are aligned with science and engineering practices and reinforce the Explore, Discuss, Think learning philosophy by briefly detailing an exploration and encouraging families to talk together about what happened during the exploration and why they observed the things they did.
