Questions, Comments, and

Feedback

One of the highlights of the elementary students’ year is their trip to the Shuttle Room (now the Discovery Center) to learn all aspects of science through hands on experiments. Tom and Brian have been re-designing the Discovery Center experience to better align it with the grade 1-5 curriculum. They have already started introducing new experiments which will engage students and prepare them for assessments. They will be shifting the focus of the Discovery Center from the Moon/Apollo missions to the robotic exploration

of Mars. This summer, they will be building a 15 ft square Martian landscape with rovers that the students will control during NASA mission simulations.

With visits from every elementary class, multiple visits from each Middle/High school Earth Science class, and countless presentations to High School core and elective classes, Tom and Brian teach over 12,000 students a year. They have created a number of interdisciplinary programs which illustrate how connected all of our subjects are. Below is a list of some of these interdisciplinary classes:

Exobiology (Biology)

Spectroscopy (Chemistry)

Archaeoastronomy (Global Studies)

Planetary motions (Physics)

Mythology of the Stars (English)

Ancient Astronomers (Math)
