  5. An example of Newton’s  Lab in action…(in four easy steps or three-years, whichever comes first) Step one- Teacher “A”  has an idea, does some research, asks some questions, (aka) does some homework Step two-  Teacher A contacts Newton's Lab and explains visions Step three- Newton’s Lab swings into action and connects Teacher A and her idea with like-minded folk, new resources, and TIME to work on it,  Step four- Teacher A with the Lab  continue to R&D, navigate the politics of public education, etc

  6. Step one- Join the Lab's Action Team Step two - organize your ideas Newton's Lab is open for Business http://newtons-lab.wikispaces.com
