SCIENCE RESOURCE CENTER
e Science Resource Center is located in the Science Pavilion. e resources are used by the Biology, Chemistry, Health Technology, Math, Medical Laboratory Technician, Nutrition and Health students and instructors to supplement class, laboratory and individual study. Students can also sign up to use one of the group study/meeting rooms.
e center supports the principle that learning doesn’t have to stop once a student leaves the classroom; the scienti c experience can continue at a time more convenient to the student. While learning is often thought to be a process of the mind, it is heavily in uenced by the learner’s environment – the variety of stimuli, the social aspect of the setting, the spatial context, and even the amount of ambient light and sound have all been seen to a ect the learning experience. e Science Resource Center, a LEED-certi ed building, is well suited to the learning experience.
e center maintains an extensive collection of models, histology slides, charts and reference books as well as a comprehensive library of CD-ROMs for 21 computers available for student use.
e center is open for use to all registered De Anza College students.
