Another very useful resource for you will be the Science Education Resource Library located off the Science Education Office (FO5-118). This room contains textbooks, curriculum, reference materials, lab and demonstration books and more. You may use the materials at the work table or make copies of them in the Science Education Office. You may not remove the materials from that room.
