Y'know, I look for resources online everyday. Tough to find really good stuff like yours that matches the curricula I work with (6th & 8th.) A lot of the stuff is physical science. I Guess it's easier. If anyone reads this, perhaps they could think of developing Michael Doig-type videos for other areas of the "spiral curriculum?" I've made some really good PPTs for Punnett Squares & Pedigree charts if anyone can use them. Hi Mike,

I had the same issues with having to calibrate the barometer before every use, but for $100 ($70 is even better) it is worth it. I looked around for a portable barometer and this watch was by the most economical choice. Good luck with your class and thanks for watching! Hey Herb,

I miss your summer workshops with John. Regarding the Casio triple sensor watch you used, in #5. I bought one at BJs about 3 weeks ago. Had a $30 off coupon so it cost me $70. I get very erratic readings on the altimeter. I live at sea level here in Pt. Lookout, NY so I'm constantly adjusting the setting for 0 feet. According to the instruction book, the altimeter sensors are influenced by the barometric pressure which could be why it's always off. Regarding Episode #5. It's a good one and I'll use it for my 6th grade weather class. Thanks. Hi Mike!
