Students of all ages are welcome to learn and work on the blog.\u00a0 Follow along and ask questions to Mr. Tanenbaum or to the scientists on the project.\u00a0 Please note, any comments to the blog will not be visible until they have been approved by one of the blog managers.\u00a0 Because the blog is public and will be used by people outside of the school environment, students should identify themselves ONLY by their initials and their classroom teacher’s name.\u00a0 For example LP in Mr. Smith’s class.<\/p>\n
