The organization of this course that is eventually coming about will be wonderful. This courses activities, links and websites will be organizaed according to thier discipline, ie-physics, biology, &/or chemistry. There is alot of information and to be able to access it through the blogging site will be nice in order to avoid having to look through the info. from the week. Although, I mean to get to it, at times I don't follow through with my intentions.
In Earth science and possibly general science, I am looking forward to using the www.universeadventure.org. I received many good ideas from my collegues on how to incorportate this course into teaching. I already have incorporated xrays and xray technology into physical science but I feel that having an xray tech or nuclear radiologist as a speaker will add depth to the unit.
For summer school, which has already begun but I can do this next week, we can review the speed of sound and measure/time the speed of sound before the corn grow (June) and when it is tall, before it is harvested (Sept.) and discuss the differences.
I am excited about the many possibilities this course has opened up for me and look forward using the cosmic ray detector in classes as well as adding to this class next summer.
I also have enjoyed meeting and working with everyone in this class this week.

You write so well, and have incorporated the ideas that will be useful to me as well. I like the idea of open corn field and the filled corn field and seeing if there's a difference. We'll have to keep in touch and work toward presenting at the math Sci conf in Huron in Feb 09
Yes, that sounds like alot of fun. I really felt like I did accomplish something this week. At times I was lost, but I feel smarter, now. Hope to keep in touch.
