We culminated our studies of space today with some great experiences and activities. First we had some fun recreating the moon phases with Oreo cookies, the students loved that! Especially the eating part! Then we had a visit from our Zeeland (B.O.B built of brains) Robotics Team. They showcased their 2010 robot which they took to competition. We had been studying how engineers and scientists had to design, build, and deploy many different robots for the exploration of space, especially the Lunar Rover and Mars Rover. That led us to finish up our day watching a Discovery for Kids video called Moon Machines, which is all about the challenges of designing and building the first Lunar Rover. Thank you kids for a great unit, and a great day!
