Science is all Around Us

I am feeling a little guilty taking a few days away from my students, to spend some time with my family and kids, while my kids compete at the USASA National Snowboarding Championships in Copper Mountain Colorado.  As I traveled last evening through airports, on trams, on planes and finally on the bus through the Rockies from Denver to Copper Mountain, I was fine-tuning my substitute lesson plans for next week and grading.  I was also taking pictures.  As my students were asking me questions about my trip during the past few days I was thinking it would be nice to share some of the pictures of my trips with them.  I tend to think about the physics and science of the things I see along the way, because it's just something I do.  I came up with the idea for this blog where I combine my travels and daily life with the science behind what I'm seeing and doing.  Thus 'This Science Life' was born.  Hope you love it and maybe even learn something from it.
