Hi Adam et al,
In case you're not already aware of these, we have more than a dozen free lesson
plans posted on our website:
http://digitaliseducation.com/curricula.html
Our Spanish distributor was kind enough to translate all of these lessons. For
those of you who would like to read them in Spanish, follow this link:
http://digitaliseducation.com/curricula.ES.html
The lessons are designed for K-12 students (5 to 18 years old, for those of you
outside the US), and they are aligned with the US National Science Education
Standards.
As noted on that webpage, if any of you reading this would like to contribute a
lesson plan or even just a short activity, we'd be happy to post it. Feel free
to contact me if you want more information: karrie AT DigitalisEducation.com.
Cheers,
Karrie

Planetarium' blog that shows my work thus far.� Until we have funds to
purchase a professional inflatable dome, I have been working with a gore dome of

expressions.� Excitement, enthusiasm, eagerness to learn more.�
