FMA Live! Where Science Rocks to reach 125,000 students in more

than 150 middle schools in 100 communities to inspire the next

generation, help improve student proficiency

Honeywell (NYSE: HON) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) today launched the inaugural tour of FMA Live! Where Science Rocks, a dynamic 'rock and roll' education program geared to students in grades six through eight. Named after Sir Isaac Newton's Second Law, Force equals Mass times Acceleration, FMA Live! Where Science Rocks uses a diverse troupe of live actors, music, videos and demonstrations to teach Newton's Three Laws of Motion and the Universal Law of Gravity in a powerful and memorable way.

FMA Live! Where Science Rocks is the focus of a new national partnership between Honeywell Hometown Solutions, the company's community relations initiative, and NASA that was also announced today. The mission of the partnership is to engage middle-school students in the wonders of science, technology and math through innovative education programs that demonstrate the relevance of the natural sciences to children's daily lives. FMA Live! Where Science Rocks addresses critical science curriculum objectives that enable students to better understand science and help improve their performance.

"Right now, tomorrow's space explorers are seated in America's classrooms -- asking questions, solving problems and conducting experiments," said Dr. Adena Williams Loston, NASA's Associate Administrator for Education. "As we work to carry NASA's new vision forward, outreach initiatives like our partnership with Honeywell for FMA Live! Where Science Rocks help us to work closely with our schools to foster learning environments that will inspire young people to set their sights on venturing to the Moon, to Mars and beyond."

Honeywell Hometown Solutions will underwrite all the costs of FMA Live! Where Science Rocks which will tour the United States for 18 weeks in 2004 and will travel to 45 middle schools in 25 markets, including: Phoenix, Chicago, Minneapolis, Seattle, Detroit, and Washington, D.C. Over the next three years, FMA Live! Where Science Rocks is expected to reach an estimated 125,000 students in more than 150 middle schools in 100 communities.

"As a technology leader, Honeywell depends upon a talented, inspired workforce to bring innovative solutions to our customers and our communities," said Bob Johnson, President and CEO Honeywell Aerospace. "It is an honor for us to be partnering with NASA and we believe our FMA Live! Where Science Rocks program will motivate the best young minds in America to pursue careers in science, engineering and technology."

Employment opportunities in science and technology are expected to increase at a rate almost three times greater than all other occupations; however, enrollment in science and engineering courses at the college level in the U.S. is on the decline. Research shows that students who are proficient in science, technology, engineering and math are more likely to pursue related subjects in high school and college, and then in career fields.

To maintain our nation's commitment to excellence in science, technology, engineering and mathematics education, NASA established the Education Enterprise in 2002, to provide students and educators with unique teaching and learning experiences "as only NASA can." Working collaboratively with NASA's Science and Technology Enterprises, the Education Enterprise promotes education as an integral component of every major NASA research and development mission, which also now includes the agency's new vision for space exploration.

The NASA partnership is a core element of Honeywell Hometown Solutions, which focuses the company's philanthropic and volunteer resources on three issues of vital importance to our communities: Family Safety and Security; Housing and Shelter; and Science and Math Education. Together with leading public and non-profit institutions, Honeywell has developed powerful programs to address these needs in the communities we serve. Honeywell also partners with the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children on an abduction prevention program, Got 2B Safe!, and Rebuilding Together on house revitalization projects for low-income homeowners.
