Cool NASA site
Tie in to the Mars Rover

bq. Scientists Need Your Help!
bq. Mars scientists are asking students from around the world to help them understand the red planet. Send in a rock collected by you or your classroom from your region of the world, and
we will use a special tool like the one on the rover to tell you what it's made of. Then everyone can compare their rocks to the ones found on Mars.
bq. We'll post a picture of your rock on the web, and give you a report on what kind of rock it is. We'll also send you an official certificate and Mars sticker for your contribution.
bq. Your rock will be kept in a special collection where scientists from around the world can come to study them.
This would be so cool for a science class to do and to see it published on a NASA site... Spark someone's interest in science for sure! (emphasis mine)
