(A Beaufort resident-Mike Smith-died in Challenger also. I think we should consider the same thing!). For this special day, Hawaii grant recipients created a Murder Mystery using math skills and TI instruments to logically determine who killed the grant adviser! It was great fun and I’d like to get their handouts to do this with my students. This group uses TI instruments; CESTEM has Vernier instruments which will do the same thing!<ul style="list-style-image: url(http://www.uncw.edu/assets/images/diamond_green.gif); margin: 0px 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px 0px 15px 15px;">
