    Hi,
    Maybe you all knew about this already, but I stumbled on
    the Nasa.gov site yesterday and they have some pretty cool
    math stuff--mainly I was looking at their publication on
    "Algebra 2 with Space Science Applications" here:
    http://www.nasa.gov/audience/foreducators/topnav/materials/listbytype/Algebra_2.html

    Answers were included. Questions included some explanations
    of the effects of black holes and then asking whether a
    particular black hole would be strong enough to "spaghettify"
    a person.... (so maybe a little scary for some kids)

    Also a discussion and then question about how much force
    would be needed to make a crater on the moon. Very neat stuff. I guess if you're an astronaut, you really do use algebra when you grow up! wink
    They also have stuff for younger kids (and games) that would
    be fun to consider.
