Wheeler Francisca Manchester UK mfsw@ampleforth.org.uk

I am Francisca Wheeler and I attended the HST 2001. I am a Physics teacher in England and my nearest city is York. I teach in a mixed school but the majority of the students are boys. Their ages range from 13 to 18. The web site of the school is www.ampleforth.org.uk. I am married to another physicist and we have four children, one of them is studying physics at University. I was born in the Acores, which are Portuguese islands along the Mid-Atlantic ridge, so I am Portuguese, but have been
living in England since 1972.
