Happy Memorial Day!
Many of you are wanting to download the resources from the conference in Philadelphia. Here’s how.

• Earth Science—Phases of the moon, tornado movies;
• General Science—Hopper Poppers, graphing, and recommended websites;
• Physical Science—The physics of cell phones;
• Physics—CO₂ cars.

In NSTA’s online professional learning communities, a new group has formed for traveling teachers, and don’t forget to download all the presentation resources for our Philadelphia Conference–even if you didn’t come, as a member of these communities, you can access all the handouts and session materials!

On Facebook, deadlines extended for NSTA’s New Science Teacher’s Academy, and some research going on about the educational uses of Google Earth.
On LinkedIn, more direct posts from NSTA’s Career Center, and discussions about springtime ferns and presenting at NSTA’s National Conference on Science Education next year in San Francisco.
And of course, on our Twitter stream, science educators are tweeting and re-tweeting the latest from NSTA Press!
