Summer 2007 Workshop
The dates of our next summer workshop have been set:
July 29 - August 3, 2007.  The
Applications will be due on April 30th.  More details will be announced
on the website, along with posting of the application.  We'll announce
that in a future Enote.  If you know someone who would benefit from this
workshop, please share the information with them.

Lesson Plans
During September we posted another great lesson from the summer workshop
(#23, Rex's lesson on Coral bleaching).  We are still working on the
others, and several are almost completed, so keepp checking for these
new lessons!
We've also updated the new hurricane lesson (H) to use daily data.

Data
The main action this month was in getting the daily Sea surface temperature
data for the hurricane lesson.  We are working on a couple projects that
should provide more recent data on a number of our parameters.

Science Projects
A couple of new project ideas have been posted in this area.  If you or
your students have other ideas, please send them along!

Timely events
Two events are coming up the second week of October:
1)  Earth Science Week (http://www.earthsciweek.org/) with the theme
"Be a citizen scientist!".  Encourage your students to visit our citizen
science pages for ideas that might interest them.
2)  National Metric Week (http://www.nctm.org/meetings/metric-week.htm). 
Scientists work in the metric system (engineers are another story...).
Our website includes a number of related resources:
the metric system:  http://mynasadata.larc.nasa.gov/metric_system.html
Data volumes in powers of 10:  http://mynasadata.larc.nasa.gov/data_volume.html
Glossary of units:  http://mynasadata.larc.nasa.gov/units.php
And, of course, the datasets themselves.  Explore!

Feedback question of this month:
What type of data that we don't have yet would fit into your curriculum?
