That TEA ... well no comment (other than hitting one's head against a brick wall) ... as a Texas educator I will be happy to retire in 16 mo and not have deal with TEA anymore but I will miss the working with the kids (physics teacher)
To keep this post cave related I drag in to the classroom my old retired cave rope, repelling rack, 8 rings, old Jumars, bat detector and lessons include: 1) frictional coefficient of the rack on the rope 2) tug-o-war with the 220' rope - demo balanced forces 3) frequency division of ultrasonic sounds (extra credit to go watch a bat flight) 4) show the kiddos some caving slides When I taught IPC in the chemistry section lessons included: 1) chemistry of the carbide lamp (yup, brought it to class) 2) chemistry of cave formation process 3) show the kiddos some cave slides ~F~ > Well, we all know that bumper sticker.
