S'COOL E-note for July, 2006

Greetings and welcome to the fifth monthly email of news from S'COOL.

THIS MONTH'S NOTES INCLUDE:

1) Earth Science Week, Oct. 8-14, 2006: "BE A CITIZEN SCIENTIST!"
2) Earth Observatory and Science@NASA: on-line science magazines
3) Don't forget the Cloud Photo of the Month while on summer vacation!
4) Changes in registration information

(1) Earth Science Week, Oct. 8-14, 2006: "BE A CITIZEN SCIENTIST!"
NASA is contributing four products to the Earth Science Week toolkits that will be available to teachers for Earth Science Week 2006, including
- MY NASA DATA flyer;
- NASA Earth Science Education 2006 brochure;
- S'COOL Cloud Identification Chart; and
- Lithograph on the NASA Ozone Monitoring Garden.

The 2006 Toolkit will be available August 1, 2006, and can be ordered online in advance at the Earth Science Week web site, http://www.earthsciweek.org/materials/index.html. Plan now for this fall! (In past years, NASA HQ has provided kits for active S'COOL participants. No word on that yet for this year, but it may happen again - usually last minute, though.)

(2) Earth Observatory and Science@NASA: on-line science magazines
For the latest NASA Earth science news, visit the NASA Earth Observatory (http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov) or Science@NASA (http://science.nasa.gov). Science@NASA stories are also available as podcasts, as well as translated into Spanish at their sister site, Ciencia@NASA, http://ciencia.nasa.gov/.

(3) Don't forget the Cloud Photo of the Month while on summer vacation!
Don't forget the Cloud Photo of the Month activity while you go about your summer plans. If you see a neat cloud, take a picture and make some notes about it. You can submit it during the summer, or hold on to it to submit next fall. Remember, we only select one photo each month, so send in a good explanation of why we should pick yours. Check out the variety of past winners on the website. We are currently featuring a beautiful photo from New Zealand.

(4) Changes in registration information
Are you changing school locations for next school year? If your school location or other information, especially school address and e-mail, changes over the summer, please let us know.

As always, keep looking at the sky!
