Microscopy and Microanalysis 2008 will be held at the Albuquerque

societies.

"Family Affair" is an informal meeting session designed for families -
both parents and children, and Albuquerque teachers of grades 3 - 8.  

Two sessions, on Tuesday August 5 & Wednesday August 6, 1:30 - 3:30 pm,
in the Santa Ana room.   Tuesday will have a physical science emphasis &
Wednesday will be biological.  They'll be "hands-on"; the biological
session, for example, will be a CSI-style crime scene investigation.
After the session, attendees will go on a guided tour of the very
spectacular meeting exhibit floor, where they'll view some of their
workshop samples with scanning electron microscopes. Teachers will get
ideas for classroom units at several elementary and middle school grade
levels

There are precollege microscopy education sessions on Wednesday August 6
for high school teachers.  View schedule of presentations on the meeting
website.

 

Meeting registration not necessary.   No charge for attendance. Go
directly to the Santa Ana room at the center.

Convention center; parking- $5/day.
