Due to the recent construction of a new Area Career Center, those problems have been addressed. I now have more space than ever, and the opportunity to serve many more students. I would like to use this award to build an area made to look like the surface of Mars. Spaceflight got me excited and interested in science as an elementary student. I got me to read books with advanced vocabularies, and to write my own stories of space adventures.
Space still excites kids.
This project will combine mathematics, science, reading and writing in an exciting setting full of computers, scientific equipment and other electronics. The Central Middle School Space Lab will be a place kids want to visit, and a place where they can't avoid learning something. Kids who want to learn something, learn it easily. All 520 sixth, seventh, and eighth grade students at Central Middle School will be given an opportunity to work in the Space lab during a daily Student Enrichment period and during science classes, when appropriate. Three to six times a year, students will conduct an all-day, simulated spaceflight to the Moon, Mars or Earth orbit.
