New math, science and language resource for teachers

Dear Educator,


I'm writing regarding a free puzzler service for your fellow New Mexico Science Teacher Association members. The National Science Teachers Association has posted links to our puzzler services on NSTA.org, and we exhibited at the NSTA National Conference in St. Louis where 450 teachers lined up to sign up for our free puzzlers.

The teacher feedback has been wonderful, and many teachers suggested that we contact the individual organizations, because you have more grass-roots power to reach other teachers and may want to make them aware of our service.

Our company publishes the 27-time award winning "Cogno" science games and books (www.cogno.com). We provide free weekly science and multi-subject puzzlers by email, for grades 3-8. The puzzlers inspire critical thinking and learning in astronomy, forces & motion, and life sciences.

Each week, teachers receive an e-mail with new 1-page puzzlers, ready to be photocopied for students. An answer key is included, so no specialized expertise or extra work is required by the teacher. For information, examples, or to sign up for free Cogno puzzlers, see www.cogno.com/puzzlers.

Note: Cogno's Challenge science content was expert-reviewed by scientists at NASA and the SETI Institute.

Would you please consider posting the following paragraph in your newsletter or website, or emailing it to your members?

Free Weekly Science Puzzlers: Each week, share with your students a FREE thought-provoking science puzzler, drawn from the award-winning Cogno science board games. You'll receive a weekly e-mail with a fully illustrated one-page puzzler about astronomy, forces & motion and/or life sciences, ready to be photocopied for students. The e-mail message includes the answer and explanation, allowing you to facilitate as much or as little discussion as you like. Recommended for grades 3-8. For information, samples, and to register, see www.cogno.com/puzzlers.

Why free? Cogno's mission is to "inspire children to think critically and imaginatively." This mission is at the root of every effort we make, and these puzzlers are part of our effort to further our mission and help raise awareness for Cogno.

Thanks so much!
