"The Foundation for Advancements in Science and Education (FASE) has [harnessed] the best of current non-broadcast video technology to provide teachers with a tool to accomplish this task. In 12 interactive laserdisc episodes, Interactions: Real Math-Real Careers gives students a series of uniquely detailed portraits of professionals from the world of applied math and science. The social, economic, environmental and human elements of real-life math and science problems are interwoven throughout each episode, and seamlessly linked to specific math topics in the middle school curriculum.
"The laserdisc format makes it possible to review problem elements. Teacher materials that accompany the series allow students to become 'colleagues' of the professionals they have met and use math skills to face real-life problems.
"For helping students discover what artists, scientists, designers, engineers and others actually do to make their dreams become realties, FASE merits Peabody consideration."--1994 Peabody Award entry form.
Module 2 covers the math topics ratios, patterns, percent and fractions. Part 1 of Module 2 is Endangered Species. It is accompanied by the Futures episode "Animal Care."
