Ok Doug.  That is the coolest.



This gets me to think about the three things I love about Science (in no particular order)



Learning something new.



Teaching and sharing that knowledge.



Having permission to play with big, expensive toys and (safely) making things go Boom.

Subject: [TN] Periodic Table



Good morning all,

In light of Dave's Friday Element Quiz, this is something that I absolutely have to share.



Dave and I are priviledged to do science and engineering demonstrations at Iowa (sometimes farther) schools, which we call the Rockwell Road Show.

Dave is one of the originators of the program over 25 years ago. I have been doing it for about 16 years now.  We both have a blast doing this (and that is an understatement).  It is not unusual, when we have done the show for Middle Schools or Elementary Schools, to have the kids write thank you notes and indicate what they liked best about the show.  It is very gratifying reading them.  But a few weeks ago, Dave and I did a show for the Anamosa (Iowa) Middle School.  It was a fantastic show and the kids REALLY got into it.  This morning, their science teacher dropped off the thank you notes and a large rolled up piece of paper.  When we rolled it out, we were absolutely blown away.  I asked Steve Gregory to post it on his site.

A Periodic Table of the Elements, with a thank you note on the back of each element.  Stunning.



Maybe next year, I can get them to do the half fractionals.
