Archeology:
https://www.facebook.com/ArchaeologyIreland/?nr
GLOBE Air Quality campaigns: (Fall Campaign is open! – September
to October)- (forest fires, volcanic eruptions, dust storms …natural and
manmade aerosols studying using smart phones, androids and reporting
in the autumn)
Ask questions and explore
Measure with other schools (121 countries)
Observe the sky (clouds, sky color, visibility, and measure
(atmospheric pressure, temperature.) using a sun photometer,
measure atmospheric optical thickness
Compare measurements with satellite data (Calipso and others)
Analyze Results with GLOBE storybooks and teacher
implementation guides
Think about solutions, climate, options, and air quality or impact
of particles on plants, watersheds, weather and living things
STEM is an acronym for Science, Technology, Engineering and
Math…from the girl scouts to 4 H clubs from elementary schools to
colleges, there is a renaissance in using tools that are carbon dating
dinosaurs to pottery…and even helping engineers, farmers, firefighters,
urban and rural needs, doctors and professors…
You can find words about place, time, trout, plants, volcanic and
geographical terms in Robert Escalante’s new book and help us work
with Pasco digital tools, CES exhibitors, Adobe, Apple and so many
other great options for teaching, learning, writing, and making language
arts and science achievable.
Waconda and Wakanda, Wauconda… (sound alike), but spelling counts
and attributions matter. We don’t want to plagiarize others, but quote
them and create a way for new writers
to get paid and their ideasto be discovered and shared.

my child’s classroom or at holiday events like pumpkin patches, picnics,
or on my school board? –build smart phone skills, discover your roots,
include yourself in your child’s Natural world discoveries from tadpoles
