TEA: Annual-reynolds- -- Body

Annual Report for Lawrence Reynolds
January 15, 2000 - January 15, 2001

Were you in the field this season? Yes

Dates in the Field: February-March 2000

Additional Comments: I haven't kept track of actual numbers, but estimate three to four per week for the time since the start of my deployment, of which two thirds were student and one third were teachers, and a few "others." I'm presently engaged in dialog with some interesting students from Vancouver, Washington.

Did you maintain a daily (or as often as possible) electronic journal while in the field? Yes

Is your journal complete? Yes

Continued Collaboration with Research Team Members

Type of Interaction / Outcomes / Dates / Locations / Parcticipants: Since being in A.A. I have visited several times at University of Maine with Dr. Tom Kellogg, and have corresponded with other scientists aboard the Nathaniel B. Palmer

Has a member of your research team visited your classroom in the last year? Yes

2. Community / Colleague Outreach

Transfer

How are you sharing your research experience with your colleagues, district, community, etc? Twice (the first time via e-mail from the NBP) I've taught a course called "Science on Ice." This is a course centered around my own experiences and other TEA websites. Souveniers and pictures are displayed in my classroom, often the subject of questions by students, other staff, and parents. Bits and pieces of the experience get incorporated into other classes I teach

Activities Development

Title: Who Cares if the Ice Melts, Anyway?

Description:
Using a block of ice melting overnight in a basin with a mock shoreline, students guess

Description:
The class divides into several groups. Each group secretly creates a terrain in the bottom of a cardboard box, and builds an irregular paper mache ice sheet surface over it. Groups exchange boxes, and first create topo maps of the ice surface. They then try to make topo maps of bedrock by a limited number of stick poked soundings. Finally, the tops are removed and the maps compared with the reality

4. Other TEA Activity Involvement

None besides distribution of TEA flyers at professional development ctivities.
