critique for media

[Ann Dempsey <adempsey@GLYNN.K12.GA.US>]

Hi everyone! I found these 2 media resources on NICEM for teaching
pollution and would like to find out what you all think of them since I
can't tell too much from the NICEM descriptions. Would love to know:
Are they up to date and accurate?
On instructional level for 3 - 5 graders?
Free of social bias?
Well made?
Too in-depth or too shallow?
Any teacher guides and are they useful?
Any other strenghts or weaknesses?
I would be glad for any information that you could provide so if you don't
know about all of these things just let me know what you have found with
the media.
Here they are:
National Geographic Kids Network Series - Too Much Trash?
Decisions, Decisions: the environment - by Carolina Biological Supply Co.
Thanks a million and have a great Spring!
