Harris Educational Fan Page Archive for the Month of: June 2009
Harris Educational is the originator and manufacturer of "Reinventing Science" science kits and materials
that inspire experimenters of all ages to participate in science, math, technology, history and discovery. We
also provide services such as training and workshops, as well as eLearning, multimedia, and product
development. Our mission is to excite young minds (and older young minds) and inspire them to DO
science, math, and technology.
In June of 2009 we started a fan page on Facebook with the goal of promoting awareness of our products
and services. But we don't just want to advertise ourselves but rather to act as a service to educators,
parents, students, and science hobbyists. We post links and articles daily that relate to science, history,
education, and open source software. Also located on our fan page are photographs, information, and
discussion forums. Another of our goals is to become an interactive location where educators, students,
parents, and hobbyists can interact, share their ideas, and become more involved in science and science
projects.
Our fan page is located at:

Please subscribe and become fan. Also help us grow our community by using “suggest to friends” one of
the first links under our logo picture in the upper left hand side of the page.
(Note: At some point we will be able to have a custom URL instead of the more clunky one we have now. I
am assuming the original link will continue to work even if that is the case. If you are viewing this document
and the link above does not work, then please do a search on Facebook for “Harris Educational” or
“Reinventing Science” we will update the link in future documents.)

Hello World: This facebook page is being started today (6-2-09) as part of our effort to expand awareness of
our company and its Reinventing Science products. We are in the process of rebuilding our website, adding
social media like facebook and twitter, and creating a blog that we hope will be useful to educators, students,
hobbyists, or anyone interested in science, technology, history, or education.

Coming Soon: A brand new website, and a blog. We are going to take our articles and information and make
them available to a wider audience. Stay tuned for updates.
This now ends our shameless plug for the week!
(Question from Fan Fray Close) When do we get to learn about time travel?
Thanks for the question:
This (http://www.scienceinschool.org/2009/issue11/timetravel) is a GREAT article that talks about the
theoretical physics of Time Travel AND how to use that, plus popular cultural references to time travel
(movies, TV, comics) to help teachers introduce Einstein's theory of Relativity. Enjoy!

5) Once you click on a piece of software you are interested in, you will be taken to its page. There you
can find a link to download the software, as well as a LOT of information. 90% of this information is
probably most interesting to programmers. If you are a more casual user, I'd advise looking at
"website" to go to a more "everyday people friendly" site relating to that software. Also the "screen
shots" button will show any posted screen shots.
