I enjoyed Dr. Kellers presentation on Homestake. It is great to see what is going on out there to inform both my parents and my students. Another good presentation today from the Chicos site from Thersa. I still need to work through the universe adventure.
The best part of the blog for me was quick access to the links. I did not think it was easy to find everybody's else blogs to comment back to, which made it hard to read others comments. I liked being exposed to it and may try it in one of my classes for students who are not comfortable asking questions in class.
The couple of activities I will use for sure are the bubble chamber and the 1/2 life activities. I am going to try for a mini-grant to get some radioactive materials for those experiments. I still have a lot of questions on all of the particles but now I have some excellent resources to answer those questions as well as present some of this material to my students.
I really enjoyed the whole week, not only the topics discussed, but the interaction with all involved. All of the free materials were a great added bonus. I hope we can have a reunion of some sort next summer.

Have fun this summer. And, please feel free to contact me if I can be of any help. I hope you will decide to pursue the EdD, too. It was really nice getting to know you, this week. Thanks for your great suggestions and demos.
Take care.
