Today we had a special visit from Miss Teresa, a science teacher who came to do exciting chemistry experiments with us. We experimented to learn about different states of matter: solids, liquids, and gases. Ask your child-chemist to explain what happened when we mixed baking soda (a solid) with vinegar (a liquid). Ask about our color mixing experiment too! Here is what our budding chemists found most exciting and interesting.
Light Saber: I learned that if you poured a lot of vinegar into the baking soda it made bubbles explode!
Cars: I liked when the bag exploded!
Roselet: I liked when the bag exploded like a volcano!
Pirate: I liked mixing the vinegar with the baking soda.
Cinderella: I liked when the bag exploded. I learned that you put baking soda with the vinegar and it made bubbles.
Present: I liked when we mixed the colors together!
Belle: I liked when the bag with vinegar and baking soda exploded!
Ship: I liked when we mixed the colors.
Sarah: I liked when the baking soda turned to goo! I learned when you mix colors it makes a different one!
Knuckles: I liked when we mixed orange and purple together!
Princess: I liked when the bag popped. It had vinegar and baking soda in it.
Scout: I liked when the bag with baking soda and vinegar exploded. I learned that gas is clear.
William: I liked when we mixed the colors together!
Sleeping Beauty: I liked when the bubbles almost exploded from the cup.
Jack Sparrow: I liked when the bag kablooshed!
Rose: I learned that we discovered when we mix vinegar in baking soda it made bubbles.
Mommy: I liked when the bag popped.
Dobrom: I liked when we mixed all the colors together!
Ariel Princess: I liked the part when we mixed all the colors together!!!!!!
Spike: I liked when we mixed the colors together to make red.

OK, the kids' codenames are cracking me up. I sure hope I don't bump into Knuckles.
NASA likes budding scientists. I hope your classes will send their names to the moon! NASA invites people of all ages to join the lunar exploration journey with an opportunity to send their names to the moon aboard the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, or LRO, spacecraft.
The Send Your Name to the Moon Web site enables everyone to participate in the lunar adventure and place their names in orbit around the moon for years to come. Participants can submit their information at http://www.nasa.gov/lro, print a certificate and have their name entered into a database. The database will be placed on a microchip that will be integrated onto the spacecraft. The deadline for submitting names is June 27, 2008.
"Everyone who sends their name to the moon, like I'm doing, becomes part of the next wave of lunar explorers," said Cathy Peddie, deputy project manager for LRO at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. "The LRO mission is the first step in NASA's plans to return humans to the moon by 2020, and your name can reach there first. How cool is that?"
