[meteorite-list] AZ Teacher asking for help - Geology

AZ teacher asking for help with her Geology project! Seems like a good project to help with! http://www.donorschoose.org/donors/proposal.html?id=767782&verify=673289514 Together, I am thinking this could be completed in a few days if we all pitched in! Jim Jim Wooddell http://k7wfr.us

Re: [meteorite-list] AZ Teacher asking for help - Geology

Maybe I'm just having a bad day, but the contribution mechanism kind of annoyed me. I think few things are more deserving of support than a teacher taking the initiative to make science exciting and compelling to young people.   I nearly contributed, but then ran into some deal-breakers: While th

[meteorite-list] Royal Ontario Museum

Hi, All, I've just been informed that the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto classifies meteorites. Does anyone on the List use their services? What meteorites have they classified? I enjoy reading the details in the MetBuls, and I don't recall seeing that institution acknowledged in

Re: [meteorite-list] AZ Teacher asking for help - Geology

Hi Mike, I too didn't like the DonorsChoice.org site. According the site they will give a $600 camera to the teacher/school if the get $900 in donations. Great for the teacher, but not the best use of the donor's funds. I spent 2 seconds of Google time and I found the same camera almost $1

Re: [meteorite-list] AZ Teacher asking for help - Geology

Hi Mike and thank you for your consideration. Many hundreds of teachers are using this service and I too think the recommend fee is a bit high for a Non-Profit. Still, I donated as it was this teachers choice to use that service and to apply the suggested, non mandatory contribution to the sit

Hi List, I would like to draw your attention to my 1.27g Tissint ending at eBay in two days. The specimen has more than 50% crust and beautifully shows Tissint's typical black melt/shock features. The auction started (and still is) at only $500/g. Please have a look at: http://alturl.com/4gf25

Re: [meteorite-list] AZ Teacher asking for help - Geology

Jim, you beat me to it ... I came back to my computer, thinking I might at least ask if you knew how a person could send a donation to the teacher and the school, and what do I find but your note suggesting just that. Mrs Baker does seem to be a pretty cool teacher. I might wish my kids had had

Hi Mike! I really have no clue who she is. I would truly like to see meteoritic and planetary sciences start way early in a child's life. The schools I went to growing up had nothing! I did some research and noticed her district does in fact recommend that service she used.possibly due t
