When I started as the 6th grade science teacher at HPCMS, I was given a specific mandate: get our students excited about science. Through the use of storylines, where our students take on the roles of epidemiologists, astrobiologists, urban planners, and NASA engineers, our students deeply engage with rigorous content and challenging ethical dilemmas. As young scientists, they immerse themselves in expeditions, which are long term projects that rewards students for their creativity, individuality, and ingenuity. The most popular of these expeditions involves generating a detailed and professional proposal for a space station in low-Mars-orbit. The proposal includes elements such as how to simulate artificial gravity and investigating the best use of space for growing food and generating oxygen. After nine weeks of work, the students then submit it to NASA for review and feedback. Thank you for your support!
