We have been working on a fieldtrip backpack program to integrate math and science for 
upper elementary students.  All of the teacher materials are on-line  www.smm.org/
mathpacks  and teachers register for the program and pick up the backpacks when they 
check in.

I am in the midst of revising the Cells and Light sections based on pilot-testing we did last 
school year.  One of our evaluators observed and gathered data during the pilot-testing.

The major challenge has been to let teachers know about the option.  We have presented at 
the state math teachers conference, it is on our website and in our catalog.  We also wrote 
an article for the NCTM elementary journal, Teaching Children Mathematics. Check out the 
website to see an abstract of the article or contact me for an emailed text-only electronic 
version.
