Also, http://www.3dmoleculardesigns.com/waterkit.php is a great way to
explore what is happening at the molecular level

%20education%2
0flyer%20TMAG.pdf). Science Centers should have an important role in the
IPY, and for this launch possibly propose other and additional
activities with ice that are typically science center focused.

I would appreciate your ideas on the best kinds of activities and
demonstrations with ice for science centers so that we can propose them
to our members. As you probably know, we will meet for a RAP session at
the Miami Museum of Science and Planetarium on January 12 and 13 to
discuss, among others, these types of activities. Your input prior to
this process is very welcome as well.

 

Greetings,

Walter Staveloz
