Actually it would probably be a great idea for an elementary school
science fair project :-) since it can be used to teach the kids good
research methods and is of sufficient basic quality as to not be
appropriate beyond that grade level--good for anyone working with
younger kids learning to make links to higher levels of education.
I just want to go on record here that I HATE THOSE NEW BOARDS give
me chalk all over me anytime than those danged markers that dry up
and stink and give me a headache--no, I don't like the 'high'.
Also, getting the residue on good clothes is a pain since even
dry cleaning doesn't always get it out
