Elemental,
My Dear
Holmes, Elemental
By Bob Albrecht and Paul Davis

Even Sherlock Holmes did not deduce that man would someday reach for Mars. But
with all of the scientific data available on the Internet, you can be your own
Sherlock and investigate some of the mysteries of Mars and the human body.

Bob Albrecht (dragonfun@aol.com)
is a writer and developer of science, math, and
technology
curricula. George FireDrake is his alter ego and
takes the
form of a dragon. Laran Stardrake, whose quotes
sometimes
lead off this column, is another of Bob’s
“accomplices.”
She’s half-dragon and half-human. As Laran is
fond of
saying, “Reality expands to fill the available
fantasies.”
The DragonFun image is from an original painting by
Marcy
Kier-Hawthorne.

Paul Davis (ctec1@mchs.srcs.k12.ca.us)
is a mathematics teacher at Maria Carrillo High
School in
Santa Rosa, California. He was a happy, normal
teacher until
he met Bob Albrecht and George Firedrake in 1992 and
became
another one of their accomplices. Since then, Paul
has been
intertwingling math, science, and technology in his
classroom
with the help of Bob and George.
