ongoing CIESEmath projects before school ends in June. The two that we
are currently running are:
Kids find that it's a big, big world. They use
an old measuring shadows trick to chart earth's circumference just like Eratosthenes did 2200 years ago. Check out students at
Westminster Academy doing this worldwide project.
See http://www.k12science.org/noonday/westminster/index.html Please let me know if you are interested in doing this activity with your class. For more details see the official website at http://www.ciese.org/noonday
Students try to get the best score by "shooting down" globs on a

contest between Battin and McAuliffe that was held on April 13th at
We will have a new round of contests starting in June. If you are
interested in having your 7th or 8th grade students participate please
let me know.
