be experiments and content about chemistry as well during the expedition. i2P is one of the featured organizations on their website: http://www.chemistry2011.org/participate/featured-ideas/salt-flat-of-the-andes/

MY CHALLENGE TO YOU:
MY CHALLENGE TO YOU:
Incorporated into this expedition is a new component: Content and Collaboration on a Global Perspective.
We would like to move into a new challenge for this year. We will not be fundraising for a specific cause or area. Instead, we would like to challenge you guys and your students to reach out, connect and collaborate on a project. We will be posting all the projects online to share with the rest of the world!
****My real challenge to you is to get you to sign your school/classes up for this upcoming expedition or get some other educators you might know, to sign up. Remember, your participation level is always up to you, if you just want to lurk around, attend some of the calls or video conferences during the expeditions, you certainly can, otherwise the sky is the limit!!!
