Students have been busy designing and building their international space station. They have added computers, wall panels, wall paper, a robotic space arm, a space tube pass-through, buttons, remotes, hanging lights and more. Some are designing the Dragon rocket that brings supplies to the space station. Another teacher shared some of her mission control instruments with the class and you will see them in the pictures below. This upcoming week we will study the moon and NASA's space ship Orion. We will learn what missions Orion is being created to do and expand our space vocabulary and understanding. Stay tuned for more space developments from Room 19!
