So somewhere along the way you'll encounter chemistry. If you ever need some help let me know. That's my favorite subject to tutor. Every so often I think about how to incorporate the periodic table into a cache, but I'm afraid people might hate it more than math!

Give it a try. There are several chemists around who I am sure would appreciate it. And since we have had to have math lessons, why not throw in science (much more fun!) too!

Literally. He has displayed on a table his collection of small samples of most of the different elements. purple -----Original Message----- From: geocaching-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:geocaching-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of susanmring@xxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, March 25, 2004 7:35 PM To: geocaching@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [GeoStL] Re: Periodic chart cache Laura, that is so cool. Wow, I can't believe I am getting positive responses to this idea. Well, that means I better get to work. BTW, at Laumeier Park, the latest temp display is by a sculptor who bases a lot of his works on chemical formulas and scientific stuff. I haven't had a chance to check it out yet.

I saw a chart at the Science Center that had pictures of items made from the different elements, but never seen a collection of the elements. :) Jen I didn't see the original post - its not in my mailbox...could you resend it? thnks
