some interesting links to science sites.

ASK A
SCIENCE EXPERT
Since our JMU science experts can't be on call 24 hours a day, this site may be
a useful tool. The New Jersey Networking Infrastructure in Education Project has created this
page to enable students to ask questions of scientists in a wide range of
fields. Possibilities include Ask a Physical Scientist, Ask a Chemist, Ask
a Geologist, Ask a Water Testing Expert, Ask a Volcanologist, Ask a Bird
Expert...In most of the areas you can also read the most recent questions posed by
others.
