Can we do it?

I formally applied to ASU for orbits during January. Here is the reply. "Just wanted to let you know that I did get your MSIP application. I'm glad you'll have at least 16 students participating. I will give you and your students a good date to submit their proposal so we can make sure they can target in early January. I am thinking that perhaps if we get their proposals before Christmas break or right after Christmas break we can work on targeting soon after that.Do you think it would be possible to have proposals before Christmas break? Looking forward to see what your hs students chose to do and how they do. Looking forward to also having you out in Houston! I will confirm those dates hopefully by next week."

So . . . can we get the whole proposal written before the winter break? There's the challenge.

Invitations

All those who didn't respond to the first request to join the blog have been invited again. Don't let this week slip by! Come in with two questions about your general topic. One of the questions should be answered by something like "yes" or "no." The second question should have some type of mathematical operation involved. Start work on the background research for your topic. Believe it or not, time is running out! Have a great Thanksgiving!

Clear Skies,

Mr. Lindgren

What's Due Next Thursday

Don't forget that you should come to the meeting in 121 with a feature you want to study. In addition to the type of feature you should have a rational for studying that feature along with the Massachusetts frameworks you will cover with your topic.

Welcome!

I forgot to mention one area on Mars that we can't study. That is either the northern or southern polar areas. Other than that - go for it!
