I'm looking forward to becoming weightless while trying to get my students more interested in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. I will attend a training workshop in August, and will go on my weightless flight on September 22. Below is a video from CNN which explains the program in which I was chosen to participate.
Love the pictures!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lucky man! I'm sure your students will become much more interested in science, technology, engineering, and math as a result of your experience. You will be able to make it relevant to them in a meaningful way.
ReplyDeleteThere are so many of these types of experiences out there. I found a NASA site that provided some great ideas for with the media centers at our schools. Science and math are really getting a lot of attention lately and rightfully so. The greatest areas of concern at our school is math as well as science. Out of five science teachers perhaps one out of five would do what you are about to do. What I would like to know for that one teacher is how did you get selected? What is the process so I can pass it a long?
ReplyDeleteWow what a great experience you will get to have and share with your students. Wish I was going!!

ReplyDeleteThis is something done for the last few years that is funded by Northrup Grumman. The application was on their website. The program is called Weightless Flights of Discovery.
Wow, what an amazing adventure for you and your students. What better way to get them involved in the love of science than to see something like that! I agree with our lack of science being inspired in our students. It's too bad because it's a subject that lends itself to experimentation and hands on learning. Good for you!
ReplyDeleteI am so jealous!!! What a wonderful experience for you and your students.
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing experience this would be. I really like your blog. Thanks for including the difference between a bright child and a gifted one. It's interesting to see the difference.
