Make Teaching Come Alive ... Again

Some of the most exciting directions in new products for Family & Consumer Sciences involve the primary challenge of capturing and holding your students' attention. Making curriculum presentations visually exciting and fun enhances the learning process. That may be obvious but it's not easy. In the new Sax F&CS Catalog, you'll discover new products to help you do just that.

One such product is Classroom Jeopardy, which brings the sounds, visuals and excitement of the award-winning TV classic to your classroom television screen. You create the Q&As and students (teams or individuals) compete by "buzzing" in on their wireless remotes to answer. You press "Correct" or "Incorrect," and the scoreboard adds or subtracts points automatically. The interchangeable, custom-programmable cartridges store the various curriculum game contents you create.

Sax also offers The Uggling Act - a hands-on financial simulation. Students pair up and are assigned a fictional life scenario defining age, education level, marital status and whether or not the person has an infant. Students create and balance a budget, pay bills and arrange to meet the day's demands. They also receive postcards announcing positive or negative events that impact their situation.

In addition, Sax offers 16 new PowerPoint presentations for Windows. These ready-to-use interactive programs deliver critical information on positive relationships, careers, pregnancy, nutrition & food safety, home decor and more. Wonderfully exciting and engaging new formats.
