The New Explorers teacher`s guide: Orphans of Time
The Science Explorers program, sponsored by the Department of Energy, owes its existence to the creativity of Mr. Bill Kurtis (WBBM-TV); the leadership of Dr. Alan Schriesheim, Director of Argonne National Laboratory; and the concern of the US Department of Energy. Mr. Kurtis has created a series of TV programs called The New Explorers which profile individual scientists and their science. He has given use of the tapes of these programs to teachers participating in the Chicago Science Explorers Program and to teachers in several other cities outside the Chicago area who are participating in the National Science Explorers Program. The goal of the program is to introduce students to science as a career possibility for their own lives. To introduce this unit of study students will view the Kurtis Productions science video entitled Orphans of Time. They will be able to note several paths of endangerment and what scientists are doing to try to alleviate the problems.
