Hello Gang,
I am resending this message in plain text format. Sorry for
the inconvience. If any of you are Math or Science Teachers you may be
interested in signing up to this.
NASA is seeking a few more participants to test Problem Sets 1-6 in the
upcoming Smart Skies LineUp With Math national classroom trials.
Grades 7-9 teachers interested in evaluating
all six math problem sets between March-May 2006 may apply by accessing
the link below. The application deadline has been extended to March 3.

Wanted: Teachers to Evaluate New NASA Education Product
NASA Smart Skies is looking for teachers to classroom test LineUp With
Maths 2 , its newest standards-based math and science instructional
activity.! Math and science teachers representing
grades 5-9 are invited to evaluate the web-based and print-based
materials during March and April 2006.
LineUp With Math enables students to explore and resolve
distance-rate-time conflicts in realistic air traffic control problems
using decision-making and proportional reasoning skills. Students
use a web-based interactive simulator that represents an air traffic
controller's screen. Acting as controllers, students are challenged to
land planes safely, with proper spacing, at a given intersection of jet
routes. Accompanying workbooks and classroom activities provide the
underlying mathematics and strategies to enable students to optimize
their solutions.
