Here's the deal on available techer NASA / Swift / GLAST freebies. Since we've gotten such an overwhelming reply for everything (especially the famous Swift SLINKIES...), the NASA folks have set up a Public Order form at, DUH, Public Order Form.
So, whatever it is you want from NASA, here's what you do: Go to and submit your order. See? Wasn't that easy? Just, PLEASE, keep in mind there is a limit to what they will send! There isn't a limitless quantity of everything.
Also, here is a list of links where many of the NASA mission's teacher lesson plans and activities can be directly downloaded:
Sarah is a wonderful person and will send the supplies directly to your school quasi-immediately. Tell her that you were at one of my workshops and I promised that she'd take care of you. If she doesn't, tell her I renege on that beer I owe her...
Thanks! If I can help out any other way, or if the people in Sonoma act snobby just because they live in perfect weather and constant harmony with nature, just holler!
