Sagamore Space Day

2013-08-28T18:21:05Z

Kalkgrun:

'''Space Day''' at [[Sagamore]] began when 2013 kindergarten parent [[User:kalkgrun|Brian Gardiner]] started thinking about [[STEM at Sagamore]], which led to discovering the [[NASA Exploration Design Challenge]], which led to a meeting with [[Ms. Martin|Principal Martin]] where she suggested making an entire Space Day!

There will be/is a '''video conference, [[Space Day idea for Sagamore, Aug 2013]]''', where you can see what's being imagined.

'''Discussion''' takes place on the {{Discussion list|name=''volunteer discussion list''|id=sagamore-volunteer}}, and '''notes/documentation''' should be compiled on this page (just hit "edit").

Talk:NASA Exploration Design Challenge

2013-08-21T17:49:19Z

Kalkgrun:

Would love this to be a Sagamore activity, highlighting our school and our commitment to STEM.

Materials- Basically free: flashlights, aluminum foil, paper etc. We could charge a nominal fee or ask PTA for assistance for a certificate on acid free card stock with a sticker. (Ask Lara Baldwin for printing, and card-stock ideas)

1) Meeting with Ms. Martin (me)
2) Any teachers interested in helping?
3) What if any school facilities may we use to show video and complete assignments?
4) School flyers, e-mail notices, street sign. (Future Rocket Scientists and actual Rocket Scientist Sagamore Hills Elementary needs your help to complete the NASA Exploration Design Challenge.) We're looking for students interested in: building a color paper model of the new NASA Orion space ship, completing actual NASA experiments on Ray Shielding, learning about Radiation and the difficulties of long space travel.
5) Information meeting explain the program, field questions, watch short NASA video about challenge, give "homework" of building paper Orion space craft (How much is color printing? We would ask our scientists to build this model and bring it back for the next meeting. http://www.nasa.gov/pdf/714676main_Orion_Model.pdf take picture of meeting. How many meetings NASA says it only takes 30-40 min to complete for younger k-2 kids. Bring space stuff books from library to get the kids interested.
6) Experimentation/design meeting- Talk about building the space craft, discuss space travel, radiation etc. complete the experiments and directed, http://www.nasa.gov/audience/foreducators/topnav/materials/listbytype/Ray_Shielding_Activity.html Pictures and update for wiki/blog.
7) When do we do this Saturdays? Friday nights? We could have three meetings (intro, work, presentation) over a couple months or three consecutive months. Depending on the range of students, interested we could have three meetings for K-2 and one extra meeting for 3-5 to complete the extra experimentation as suggested by NASA.

Materials Required:
construction paper
card stock paper
copy paper
tissue paper
flashlights
balance or scale (does the school have these? I know pre-k had a basic scale)
gram weights or small paper clips (school have?)
metric rulers
eye protection

7) Record results and complete the student evaluation paper work.
8) Send the completed names to NASA. Receive e-certificates for students, educators, and school?
9) Build physical certificates with card stock, add stickers? http://ep.yimg.com/ca/I/spacestore_2270_129076379
10) Last meeting for presentation of certificates. Pictures with certificates, space ships. STEM victory for Sagamore.
11) Blog/wiki/youtube? Call a newspaper patch, Champion, or AJC for potential coverage?

NASA Exploration Design Challenge

2013-08-21T17:34:54Z

Kalkgrun:

The goal of the Exploration Design Challenge is for students to research and design ways to protect astronauts from space radiation. NASA and Lockheed Martin are developing the Orion spacecraft that will carry astronauts beyond low Earth orbit and on to an asteroid or Mars. Protecting astronauts from radiation on these distant travels is an important -- and very real -- problem that needs solving. NASA would like your help!

http://www.nasa.gov/education/edc/#.UhT2GH_heUY

Our goal is to bring Sagamore and/or community students into this interesting low cost science project sponsored by NASA. Students who complete the challenge receive a NASA certificate and their names on the first Orion space craft.

STEM refers to: the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

==Georgia STEM==

"This approach to education is designed to revolutionize the teaching of subject areas such as mathematics and science by incorporating technology and engineering into regular curriculum by creating a “meta-discipline.'"

http://stemgeorgia.org/

==Sagamore Hills Elementary Selected as a STEM School in 2013==

STEM is the integration of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics in the curriculum. STEM is a framework of instruction based on state and national science, technology, engineering, and math standards. Sagamore Hills students will experience instruction and activities rich in science and technology. Sagamore Hills has received resources and materials to support this curriculum such as computers, LEGO and robotics labs, and professional learning for the teachers.

STEM education encourages a curriculum that is driven by problem solving, discovery, exploratory learning, and student-centered development of ideas and solutions. The saturation of technology in most fields means that all students — not just those who plan to pursue a STEM profession — will require a solid foundation in STEM to be productive members of the workforce.

STEM refers to: the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

==Georgia STEM==

"This approach to education is designed to revolutionize the teaching of subject areas such as mathematics and science by incorporating technology and engineering into regular curriculum by creating a “meta-discipline.'"

http://stemgeorgia.org/

==Sagamore Hills Elementary Selected as a STEM School in 2013==

STEM is the integration of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics in the curriculum. STEM is a framework of instruction based on state and national science, technology, engineering, and math standards. Sagamore Hills students will experience instruction and activities rich in science and technology. Sagamore Hills has received resources and materials to support this curriculum such as computers, LEGO and robotics labs, and professional learning for the teachers.

STEM education encourages a curriculum that is driven by problem solving, discovery, exploratory learning, and student-centered development of ideas and solutions. The saturation of technology in most fields means that all students — not just those who plan to pursue a STEM profession — will require a solid foundation in STEM to be productive members of the workforce.
