Hi Bill!

Check out COSI Columbus' Family Science Quests - they're pretty interesting!
http://www.cosi.org/visitors/exhibits/family-science-quest/

If you don't mind, would you post a summary of off-line pieces you get?

Best wishes and happy hunting-

Sam

> So...Vicki or Maija or anybody else: Can you help me answer these questions?
