Museums Galore

We use Virtual Field trips to visit museums and take a walk through history and science. But, rather than just the teacher clicking through the app, we send the Virtual link to the students’ Seesaw account or Google Classroom and allow the students to roam the museum. To create a focus, there are some follow-up questions that allow the teacher to lead them to items that support the topic being studied.

Orion Heat Shield Experiment

After building a scale model of the crew capsule, Orion (which will be used in the upcoming Artemis missions) teams then designed and tested a heat shield, using an assortment of materials offered. Students added a Hershey's Kiss inside thier capsule, then simulated the heat and turbulence of reentry into Earth's atmosphere with a hairdryer. The goal was to keep the astronauts from melting, while being as budget-friendly as possible with materials.
