She's baaaaack!!!!

After a year-long hiatus, I am back on my science blog. I must admit that my motivation to return stems from the many interesting comments and questions in my classes about topics we have covered. Please check in occasionally for extra resources, ideas to help with projects, and general science news. This will not be a posting place for homework, please make sure to write down that information along with due dates in your agenda. I will send out periodic remind101.com messages to help you keep focused.

I need your help. If you run across interesting science articles or interactive websites please send the links to me and I will post them in this blog . . . if the content is appropriate to our learning goals. The internet is a wonderful place to gather information related to the natural sciences. There are thousands of good websites with an enormous amount of information. I can't possibly begin to do a complete search. So, any useful contributions by my students will be greatly appreciated.
