Context:
Using Dock'Em™ as our page layout program and OpenDoc container, we have constructed a document representing an activity that a science teacher might use for his or her class. The focus of the activity is Colored Shadows. After being introduced to the topic, students will make predictions and carry out observations using a special simulator. Then they will have the opportunity to carry out optional experiments and use the World Wide Web to gather additional information.
