ExploreZone 2009
Wow! You guys are the GREATEST!! Thanks to you, ExploreZone was a HUGE success! The elementary kids loved it and the high school did too! Everywhere I went, I saw faces with smiles and surprise and awe. You worked so hard, and it paid off. A special thanks to all of you who stayed late Wednesday setting up and Thursday cleaning up! I couldn’t have made it without you!! Check out the pictures on flickr – more at bottom right of this page. You can click on them to see the whole set.
Here are some of my favorite quotes:
“Wow, how’d you do that?”
“Ooh gross! Do it again!”
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh”
“Where can you buy that?”
“Can you eat it?”
And my all time favorite – “Mrs. Camp, this is better than recess!”

DJ: What is the kinetic-molecular theory?
[Reply]
May 1st, 2009 at 3:13 PM
To whom it may concern (Trey Skinner): the kenetic molecular theory is based on the idea that particles of matter are always in motion.
