Deb,
Thank you so much for sharing 'TEACHING RESOURCES: CLASSROOM TIPS FOR
TEACHING INQUIRY LABS.' I will read the inquiry tips carefully and learn to
use them -at least a few.
Thanks again,
Lucila
Ps: do you know of inquiry based science labs in Spanish?

Our school is currently planning an environmental intensive curriculum
for next year. We are focusing on the environment as a whole as well as
high lighting the local environment. We are looking for ideas of good,
interesting summer reading appropriate for middle school students. Does
anyone have any fun suggestions?
thanks, Jessica

Hi all,
Does anyone have some Conceptual Physics books, any edition, high
school or college level, that they would like to pass along to School
of the Arts? We're starting physics first which means we need loads
of books and, of course, there's no budget.
I don't have anything tangible to trade, but I do have a bunch of
good chem labs and a good evolution game (not a board game) among
other things that I'd be happy to share in return.
Thanks,
Ellen Koivisto

I don't understand why Cr+6 is called hexavalent chromium. The way I
think of the word "hexavalent," it seems like it should indicate that
the chromium atom has 6 valence e-. This isn't true for Cr+6 -- it
has 0 valence electrons.
Can anyone explain why metal ions are sometimes called x-valent where
the x shows the charge on the ion?
Thanks for clearing this mystery up,
Geoff
