Thai+science

This message was forwarded by Denis Burchill from The Uni of Auckland, Faculty of Education, who also pens some of the Physics books avaialable in NZ.

I have an email (below) from Chris Smith in Thailand that is worth sharing with the 2006 science class. Chris amasses/produces interesting and high quality resources and has a great science page on his "shambles" webpage.

Cheers, Denis.
