NSTA 2010 is coming to a close, and we found some special visitors to help us say goodbye.
Special visitors - Spheniscus magellanicus
These penguins, native to South America, were visiting NSTA with folks from SeaWorld. If you’d like to watch some baby penguins in action, the Adventure Aquarium in Camden, NJ has video on their website of these and other aquatic creatures. (Scroll down when the page opens.)
If you’d like to enter our raffle, you still have time to do so. We’ll do a drawing and announce the winner on March 28th. Click here for details on how to enter.

Ben Franklin was a man who wore many hats – inventor, scientist, statesman.
Philadelphia’s Franklin Institute was founded in 1824 in the spirit of Franklin’s passion for science and technology. The Franklin Institute offers great online resources for science learning, including online and offline activities for students, Case Files, and an online collection of artifacts.
Also, Philadelphia’s Academy of Natural Sciences and Chemical Heritage Foundation have great web resources for teachers looking to integrate Internet technology into their classroom.
