PROGRAM NEWS++++
- Get
WISE to it (http://wise.berkeley.edu). That December 28th deadline for
Assignment #4 is creeping up. Dig out that Assignment notebook, put your hands
on those articles and get into the Discussion. If you've misplaced pieces of
the assignment, go to http://www.the-aps.org/education/2004rts/assign.htm and
look in the green section on the right-hand of the page for links to the PDFs
of the articles. Need some password help? Email Kathleen at kkelly@the-aps.org.
- Your
holiday break is a good time to start pricing plane tickets for San Diego. I
hear that Southwest Airlines has $99 one-way fares. If you haven't booked your
hotel room, please do so immediately. Contact Brooke (bbruthers@the-aps.org)
with questions.
-
Spend those Mini-Grant funds! Your receipts/invoices must be dated December 31,
2004 or earlier. If you're all done spending and have your receipts, why not
submit your report? Go to
http://www.the-aps.org/education/2004rts/mini-grant.htm to print out/down load
a copy of the Report Form.

- Feel
like taking a break from the holiday rush? The National Parks Service offers
eTrips through their Yellowstone Park Windows Into Wonderland web site.
Designed for students in grades 5-8, classes and individuals are encouraged to
register free of charge. From the home page, click on the link that corresponds
with the eTrip you wish to view - you can meet the wolves or bears of the
neighborhood or warm up with fire ecology. Go to
