When Madison Elementary School teacher Pamela Thompson was a little girl, she loved visiting The Old Man of the Mountain, a stone-face landmark in northern New Hampshire.

She also had a favorite beach that she and her family would visit every summer on Cape Cod, in Massachusetts.

Thompson, 53, of Industry, used those two naturally occurring events as classroom centerpieces last year for science projects for her third-grade students.
