Our soap lab results are in! The Kroger brand came in first, followed closely by the Publix brand. The name brand, Joy, came in last!

We tested three liquid dish soap brands to see which one was the best cleanser. The final results are due in today, but it looked like the Kroger brand was in the lead on Friday. The final results will be posted asap.

Finally!, Mr. de Vries writes:
Ethel,
Your students have a series of good questions. Sorry for the delay.
I was in USA at the time when it was sent. Some weeks later I tried answering this email but found I was doing it no justice and abandoned my response.
However please find attached a good article on geosequestration which I think your students or new students (new school year now) can get some authoritive answers.
Cheers
Don
The article is from Nature magazine, and I am having trouble getting the file to attach. Will try to post later. Meanwhile, check out these websites.
