Mark and Ana Maria traveled to Bolivia on
January 17, 2003 and visited one of the main operation
centers
for SALLJEX. While in Bolivia, they each flew on the
NOAA
P-3 and worked with scientists on collecting data. After
spending
two weeks in Bolivia, Mark and Ana Maria traveled to
the
Universidad de Buenos Aires to help researchers analyze
data from SALLJEX and spent time in local schools in Buenos
Aires. Both Mark and Ana Maria returned to their schools
in February.
While on this adventure, Mark and Ana Maria hosted several
live Web broadcasts, taught their classes, wrote lessons
plans, maintained daily
logs, took photographs,
interviewed scientists, and engaged in a dialogue with
other
teachers and students, as well as the general public around
the world. Take your students along for the exciting experience
by following Mark and Ana Maria on the Web!
