We've posponed posting until science fairs & grades were out of the way -
although we've only had an initial opportunity to review the study
proposals thus far. First then, our team:
Gay Gerky, 6th grade life sciences & ecology, McMurray Middle School
Evan Justin, 8th grade earth / space sciences (planetology), McMurray
Middle School, University of Washington Summer Middle School Science
Computer Lab School
Rod Mitchel, 10th grade biology / island studies, Vashon Island High
School
All we've managed thus far is to emphatically concurr that we want to
develope a broad based curriculum together from our seminar enrichments
for widspread implementation. Rod mentioned an interest in refugee
population corridore studies, Gay in local action for global
environmemntal issues, & Yours Truely is interested in planetary system
integrations (such as the C-cycle activity) & datamongering as the
resident techie (especially re: Earth/Mars comparisons, &/or SLIME)
Evan & Rod both have web & email @ work & home, Gay gets web access at
work via a shared terminal outside her room:<...
We plan on getting together again Tr15May to consolidate our plans & post
the tenative ideas on the website. Meanwhile, Evan at least anxiously
awaits confirmation of the NSF funding & the extent of our web access
outside of class (is metrocom/ricochet in your area?), & Gay is interested
in wether we have room mates or not in the dorms. More later - meanwhile
treat me (Evan) as the contact webhead. ttfn-ec

"Scientists do not study Nature because it is useful;
They study it because it they delight in it, and they delight in it
because it is beautiful.
If Nature were not beautiful, it would not be worth knowing,
and if Nature were not worth knowing, life would not be worth living."
-Henri Poincare'
