1) Organize by subject matter (biology, physics, etc)
2) Upcoming events section (or just a section where people could list science workshops/opportunities)

Last Day

I enjoyed the lecture by Dr. Keller on dark matter and the experiments that are going on that relate to dark matter.

The DVD "Ghost Particle" was very informative and I think that I will order a copy for my classroom. I think that it would be a very good movie to show my physics students. There is a lot of information presented in a way that would be understandable to high school students.

Enjoyed the homework presentations by David and Phillip. Very applicable to a variety of grades.
The "Particle Adventure" was full of a lot of very good information (and I enjoyed their sense of humour!)
. I feel more informed about the structure of an atom now, than I did before I went through a few of the lessons.
Working on the board again -- we are getting quite good at it!
:)
Going to the chemistry labs was enjoyable!

The speaker from South Dakota State University was interesting. I did not know very much about the Homestake mine lab. I enjoyed the discussions that ensued.

We graduated and soldered on the "real" board today. Angie, Pat, Paul and I took turns practicing on a practice board and then moved on to the actual board we will use in the detector.

NERVOUS!

There is a lot of information floating around in my head; waiting for it to congeal.

I really enjoyed Angie's activity/presentation.
It will be very easy to adapt to high school level.

Good job Angie!

The lectures this a.m. were very interesting and I hope that I will retain at least some of it!

Todays Presentations

I really enjoyed Kim and Pat's presentations.
Learned a lot and enjoyed myself!

:)

Talked about 1/2 life of an element.
Decay rates.
Types of radiation (particle and wave)
Ions
Isotopes
:)

Afternoon was a lot of fun.
My soldering leaves a lot to be desired!
