These are projects that can be done outside school and during the summer. First one I came across was a website that gives some good resources on different projects throughout the [...]

NES Student Challenge: Inspired Science
March 26th, 2013 · No Comments · Labs, NASA, NASA explorers school, Project
Well we just got the results back. The kids did not get picked for the winning entry. But it was well worth the effort for them and me. Actually it has encouraged the students to investigate their topic a bit more. I enjoyed watching them get excited (even high school students can get excited once [...]

Lunar Egg Challenge…Final Drop- Part III
February 11th, 2013 · No Comments · Labs, NASA, Project, School Events, STEM
The final day of the project finally came and the whole school knew we were doing our egg drop. We had a lot of visitors the day of the drop. Each class would drop their landers, roll their rovers down a ramp, while measuring the distance the rover traveled. I think I forgot to [...]
Lunar Challenge…the Build- Part Two
February 10th, 2013 · No Comments · Labs, NASA, NASA explorers school, Project, STEM, Teacher Ideas
Okay here we go…students began to build their landers and rovers after brainstorming and sketching their ideas. After identifying the criteria and constraints, students went to step 3 and brainstormed possible solutions. Step 4 is where students began to design and sketch their projects. Once students selected their design, they then could build. Some interesting [...]

“The Engineering Design Process is a series of steps engineers use to guide them in problem solving.

Can’t help it but I have to keep thanking Krissy Venosdale (http://venspired.com/) for setting this up. Since I’m still on break it has been really fun figuring out what to post for each day’s photo. If you want to know about the project take a look at the #edugood page. Today was your favorite [...]
