Thing #6

Found a nice collection of mashups at http://www.programmableweb.com/tag/science

The one chemistry mashup didn't work, but there were many environmental ones that were pretty cool. One of my favorites shows potential radii of ground level nuclear blasts (I try to incorporate nuclear science at every level, because I find it is one of those hot-button issues polititians use to scare people who do not really understand it, even though we often can't quite get to it in chem or IPC).

There were several really good earth/space mashups that used google earth and mapper to show various phenomena such as eclipses and sun position relative to distance from the equator.

  1. Hey, sometimes if we find just one that works then everything you did to get there is worth it.
