VERNIER UPDATE



I saw the new Go! Motion in action today at the Ohio Section of the American Association of Physics Teachers meeting, and it looks slick.

The setup is easy (plug into the USB), the cost is low ($ 99.00, no additional parts needed), and the software is Logger Lite (shown displaying the Go! Temp data below.




Another great science toy presented today was the World Wind software. In the words of the NASA site


World Wind lets you zoom from satellite altitude into any place on Earth. Leveraging Landsat satellite imagery and Shuttle Radar Topography Mission data, World Wind lets you experience Earth terrain in visually rich 3D, just as if you were really there. I've placed a sample screen shot below.

Hi

Have you done anything earth shattering lately?

Read anything that really sets your mind on fire with a passion to do good?

How about doing something important for yourself?

Have you?

Do you know without a doubt where life is taking you?

Got a Plan?

Know how to get there?

Most people don't. They just go through life hoping for the best. How can you possibly reach your dreams if you don't have a real plan?

A new year is coming. It's time to start thinking about your New Years Resolution and really start planning your life don't you think…

…follow through on some of those old goals you had years ago.

Even people in the goal setting business tend not to visit their "life plan" very often.

Are you one of those?

Need a little refresher and some FREE goal setting tips?

Spend a few minutes at Long Term Goals and take away life changing information.

Happy New Year!
