Students Videoconference to Share Lab Experiences Kathleen Thelan (Midland Park, NJ) and Kelli Ramer (New York SFD) report their classes videoconferenced in late September to share a lab on the flammability of BIC "Wite-out" and "Liquid Paper". Kathleen's students explained the hypothesis, procedure, results and conclusions, and Kelli's students asked questions about what they expected to see and why they wanted to investigate the issue of flammability. "We all had a great time!" reports Kathleen.

Indiana Class to see Shuttle Launch Students in Teresa Huckleberry's science classes (Indiana School for the Deaf) are off on another adventure. After spending the summer involved in a flight program where they actually piloted real airplanes, the students are now headed off to Cape Kennedy, Florida, where they will participate in the STS-87 Space Shuttle Launch Conference on November 19. Teresa and her students will be bringing back materials and ideas for sharing. Their trip will be provided through the generosity of an anonymous donor. Email them at teresalh@iquest.net and look for information via a website at MSSD: www.gallaudet.edu/~pcnmpg12/sts.html Go Teresa and ISD students!!

 Friday Science Circle Wonder what ever happened to your application for the Friday Science Circle project? It's still alive and well, but taking longer than expected to get started. Look for information soon, and thanks for your patience.
