Thank you!

I will be forever grateful for this experience. Thanks to everyone for their encouragement and support, not only for me, but for teachers and our educational system.
Thank you to SFAZ and ACST and Biosphere 2 for investing in us, and our students' education. I am inspired and cannot wait to share what I have learned with my colleagues, and future students.

Today's experiments







Today started with an "Amazing Race" around the Biosphere area. That was fun!



We recieved prizes at every stop and our grand prize was.... A MacBook Pro laptop, a PRINTER to go with it, and we also got a digital video camera!! (along with some other really cool stuff)



It was an exciting morning!! :) I had the best team ever!!






We spent the rest of the day in classrooms doing some inquiry experiments:



1. Build a Tower, while staying on a "budget"



2. What do crickets prefer to eat?



3. Cricket Races






So, we are each required to do a research project that is due on July 1st. I am trying to decide between comparing water cleanliness, soil saturation, or comparing micro organisms in the biomes of B2. I will decide tomorrow!



Tomorrow we will be doing more inquiry experiments, then, at night, we have an astronomy lesson and night sky viewing. Fun!!
