I have some lessons to contribute (all original) that fit a couple of categories. What is the format they want for submission? Can you send me that? I can shape the documents to fit more appropriately if I have that, better insuring their acceptance percentage.

Subject: [Lapg] opportunity to contribute to thousands of high school students
Some very esteemed publishers of an upcoming AP Environmental Science lab book have put out a call for labs.
I incorporate permaculture into my AP env. sci class all the time but don't have anything ready to send it right away. If any of you have some cool activities you think might fit the bill I'd love to flesh it out into the format they are looking for and we can co-submit. If approved there is a small ($200) stipend which I'd be happy to split or donate to a worthy cause!
I think we can easily contribute a more holistic understanding of these topics!
Let's do it!
