NEWTON has supported over 20,000 questions since its
inception in 1991. The archives
containing all of the Ask A Scientist questions and answers postings
from 1991 to 2005 can be found within this web site.
Users do not have to be a member of NEWTON to utilize this service, however,
this service is intended for K-12 teachers and students.
The question you submit is emailed directly to our volunteer
scientists [located throughout the world] and answers
will be emailed to the return email address you have
provided.
Make certain that your email address
is correct.
All questions and answers become
the property of NEWTON. Questions and answers will
be posted within NEWTON and will become web pages
for others to access in the future.
Submit only one question at a time!
All questions are evaluated, however, not all questions
are answered. We receive about 150-300 questions a day
and all of our scientists answer voluntarily.
Before you submit a question, Ask yourself
if the question is my question better answered using a
library or Internet search engine.
Helpful Hints for certain types
of questions are provided. This service is not intended
to be an online encyclopedia.
Our purpose is to provide a means to have questions answered
that are not going to be easily found on the web or
within common references!
With 20,000 questions and answers previously addressed, many
questions we continue to receive have been answered,
and can be found in our archives.
Thank you for using NEWTON!
