Good morning. I have a favor to ask of you. I am on the education committee of Silver Lake Nature Center, Bristol, PA. http://www.silverlakenaturecenter.org/ - I am not sure if this is the newest website or not - it appears to be but events are dated.
The Nature Center has received a grant to build an Earthship (house) for a new education building as well as a model for teaching about Earthship technology. This will be the first Earthship on the East coast. http://www.silverlakenaturecenter.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=arti cle&id=177&Itemid=280 (info on their Earthship) http://www.earthship.org/ Earthship information in general (in case you have no idea about Earthships) For our next meeting we are asked to try and find laboratory experience/s that deal with thermal mass that could be used in teaching about an Earthship. (i.e. how an Earthship keeps a constant internal temperature). The target audience is JR-HS and HS levels. Hubby teaches physics and is helping me search for such a lab. I've tried searching on line and found several demonstrations but they may be too complicated for the level needed, space (and money) available. If you know of any laboratory experiences, please contact me personally or through the list. Also, please feel free to cross post to other lists. Thank you so much - Holly Priestley, EdD
