Many of you are wanting to download the resources from the conference in Philadelphia. Here’s how.
Highlights of stimulating conversations taking place right now on our listservs:

• Chemistry—iron titration, how to deal with dangerous chemicals, and what incoming freshman need to know;
• Earth Science—Friday, May 28th, being celebrated as the 2,595th “birthday of science,” and combining science with art;
• Elementary—lots of recommendations for books to use to teach the Simple Machines;
• Physical Science—conduction radiation activities;
• Physics—the discussion on grading and homework continues, as well as discussions on ferrorfluids.
