The CCMR Educational Programs Office introduces its latest educational resource for teachers, the Lending Library of Experiments. The Lending Library offers lesson plans and student activity sheets available for download on a wide variety of science topics. Kits also exist for many of the activities, which can be checked out free of charge, to help teachers facilitate the activity in the classroom. The CCMR Lending Library is made possible through the generous support of the National Science Foundation, Hewlett Packard, and Micheal and Lida Riedlinger.
