In
the Classroom
• (a) How
did folding paper cranes help the fourth graders
in Nekoosa, Wisconsin, help this migration? check
it out on their "Classrooms in Action" page.
• (b) You know that frost causes problems on the ultralight
wings, but something else was causing the problem at the Jefferson County stop
they
departed today. Why did the team have to surround the trikes with electric fencing?
