eMedia & Ancillaries for Students
Animations
New for the Second Edition and developed specifically for 21st Century Astronomy, these brief lessons use animation and interactivity to enhance students’ understanding of core concepts. Each animation has been carefully reviewed for accuracy and consistency with the text’s presentation. Animations are available from the free StudySpace student Web site and are also integrated into assignable SmartWork exercises. Offline versions of the animations for classroom presentation are available on the Norton Media Library instructor’s CD-ROM.
