Hi kids,

Here are a few more pictures for you. This time they're all about how we drill and how we work on samples in the core lab. If you have any questions, be sure to Ask-A-Scientist!

Hi Kids,

Here are some fun photos about Expedition 320. I wrote this and sent it to my son and his class more than a month ago, but I still think you'll enjoy it. Let me know if you have any questions and we'll post our answers right here.
