Read MoreTo Make the Best Better
Rocket science is a project challenge unto itself. So goes the time honored expression. We use compressed air to fill a vessel designed to double as a rocket launcher support. We have an air pressure gauge to support the consistent independent variable logged as to launch energy. The gauge that used to register a maximum of forty pounds per square inch broke. The closest replacement we could find registers a…

Read MoreSo Where is My Geocache Today?
Continuing our Geocache saga… Last time we “hid” our Geocache “treasure” we had a pretty good idea where it could be found relative to visual landmarks: as long as the Ash tree and the corner of the yellow brick building are still there. If we publish our map the pirates will certainly find our treasure or will they? Today we check our Geocache sites with the GPS and record the…
Read MoreWell, How am I Going to Find the Treasure Matey?
Geocache is fun! How do we approach satisfying intellectual appetite for an educational experience? First we should have an awareness of our geospatial environment. Where are we located on a two dimensional map? What if we change the scale on the map so that we can see more detail? Now we have a local environment that is easier to relate to! Are we able to orient ourselves to cardinal direction?…

Read MoreNebraska Science Festival – Fontanelle Forest
Ever want to take a break from the “rat race” and commune with nature within walking distance or a short drive? Well, you have come to the right place at the Fontanelle Forest. If the education building is open and staffed you can learn about birds that are predators. Today we see owls, falcons and hawks up close. I know why this building does not have rodents taking up space.
