NASA Visits the AT&T Classroom

Mrs. Christi Bates and her fifth grade students from Holden Elementary School launched their study of astronomy with a visit from NASA. Students learned about living in space and all of the adjustments that must be made for a zero gravity environment. The students used their computers, Flip video cams, Smart Board, and Palm TX handheld computers to study phases of the moon, changes in seasons, orbits of the earth and moon, eclipses of the sun and moon, shadows and the atmosphere of the earth. A new 3-D viewing equipment on loan from the KSU Biological Sciences, gave students another representation of planets and the moon.
