I'm on the run, but thought I'd send you this quick link to Sacramento Zoo, with "Mealworm to Beetle" Observation Sheet: http://www.saczoo.com/3_kids/_efeature_8_activity_beetle.htm Maybe it will be a good addition to anything else you do.

Domain name servers, or DNS, are an incredibly important but completely hidden part of the Internet, and they are fascinating! The DNS system forms one of the largest and most active distributed databases on the planet, and without DNS the Internet would shut down very quickly. Also in this issue: a..

Lots of things are happening, and my students and I have really had fun this week birdwatching. Eggs are about to hatch at http://falconcam.apk.net/ in Cleveland, Ohio. Plus there's a great story on there about a fight to the death over the nest. Held my 4th and 5th graders spellbound! Eggs are just now being laid at http://birdcam.kodak.com/ in Rochester, NY, and we have great fun with that site talking about the "daddy bird" watching the baseball game. And our favorite site of all is probably http://www.greenworks.tv/falcon/index.asp where you can watch live-action video using Real Player from Harrisburg, PA. The birds in Columbus have not laid eggs yet, but mating has been observed. Of course there are other sites, but these are the ones I've had good luck with. The kids love this from Kindergarten through 5th grade. And I love it too. We've had a great week! And, p.s., I owe it to y'all because this is where I found out about the birdcams last year! Thanks! Nancy Dickinson, Librarian Hillsboro Elementary (K-5) Hillsboro, TN 37342 [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----- We watch the Peregrine Falcons every year and I have a page with six live cam sites on it. One, in Hamilton Ontario already has chicks! Check it out. http://www.mikids.com Cheers, Carolyn Read to Succeed!

BJ World's Largest Math Event - WLME 8 - Entertaining Mathematics - April 26, 2002 The eighth annual World's Largest Math Event (WLME 8) is scheduled for April 26, 2002, with the theme "Entertaining Mathematics." This event features mathematical investigations and problems related to the entertainment industry, divided into four sections: Music, Film and Theater, Print Media, and Television. This year the WLME 8 activities will be located exclusively on the NCTM Web site, http://www.nctm.org NCTM's World's Largest Math Event celebrates mathematics and mathematics teaching and is the highlight event of Mathematics Education Month (April). Begun in 1995 in celebration of NCTM's 75th anniversary, WLME has grown into an annual event with participation estimated at approximately 1 million students. WLME activities encourage students to work together creatively to solve rich and challenging problems. Events feature a range of activities so that students at all grades can participate. Teachers can use activities as presented, or they can tailor the activities to meet specific classroom needs. And teachers don't have to wait until April to use these activities in the classroom. Many teachers adapt the past event activities into other units of study throughout the school year.
