"I was really impressed that the CD did not allow the science things to interfere with the cultural things, or the cultural things to interfere with the science. It's really well balanced. I'm looking forward to the next productions."

"I have found the CD ROM easy to use and easy to set up. I am quite a techno phobe but was able to navigate my way through the set up instructions with realitive ease. I think that the popularity of the program with my students speaks to their opinion of it. There is a genuine utilization of culturally relevant material to convey important scientific principles."
