ASTRONAUTS

Yesterday we wnet to the Stem Lab and we built CEVs which stands for Crew Exploration Vehicles. When we were there we also measured the circumferences of our claves, ankle and thighs. I learned a lot about the importance of teamwork yesterday becaue if you go to space with a crew you need to be able to communicate with each other without fighting all the time because then you'll definitely get nothing done. Thte CEVS we built came rather nice if I do say so myself. I was proud of the creativity of all the girls. We also tried some dehydrated food.....to be honest with you I thought that...

Building CEV's.

Yesterday, we build prototypes of CEV's. CEV stands for Crew Exploration Vehicle. CEV's are designed to send people up to space to explore. The picture below is an example of a CEV.

My team's CEV was called the Nebula, named after the planet that Buzz Lightyear ( yes, from Toy Story ) is from. We used a Minute Maid pink lemonade cardboard box as our base. We had solar panels off on the sides and a parachute as a landing...

First day

The first day of the goddard girls was fun. We got to make a moon habitat and work together with a group as a team. It was great and fun because it taught me how to work as a team. Also I learned, although if you dont like someone, you have to treat them how you want to be treated no matter what. And, there will always be a person that you wont get along with, and you have to deal with it.

August 4th 2010

Yesterday we went to the UMASS thing. Over there we built CEV's. A CEV is a crew exploration vehicle.I thought that the CEVs were kind of fun. Our CEVs logo was Blast Off..... We picked that name because it was the first thing that popped our head when we started. The people in my group there names were Jasmine,Lin,And me Destiny. Also we had dehydrated icecream. i thought it was the most nastiest thing i had ever tasted!! HAHA thats one of the reasons i don't want to be a astronaut. Also for lunch we had pizza,cookies,and soda. It was reall good food!! Well im looking forward for the rest of...

CEVs

On August 4 the Goddard Girls went to the stem lab to do an activity. Once we were there, we went over what a CEV is. A CEV is a crew exploration vehicle. The adults handed out packets that guided us to make a model of a CEV. There were requirements, like tanks of oxygen, water and food. They split us up into groups and were sent off to design our CEV. We first had to draw the vehicle and plan where we are going to put everything. After the group completed that task, they were able to start on the real model. There were a variety of materials there for all of us to use. My group...

At the Stem Lab

Yesterday, we went to the stem lab and built CEV, or crew exploration vehicles. We split up into groups and used recyclable items to create CEV prototypes. Wer used an old Tide bottle and a few other plastic items on the outside. On the inside, we used cardboard as a main furniture source! To tell the truth, our group failed miserably! Well, not miserably, but it didn't quite turn out how we thought it would!For lunch we had pizza and cookies. Definetely better than a sandwich! Then someone came up with thwe idea of blowing up gloves as balloons! Of course, everyone had to make one! Then,...

Legup for NASA

Today we came to camp and went almost immediately to the stem lab. That is where we do experiments and build things. TOday we were supposed to do this program called leg up. This was supposed to simulat what it was like for the inside of your body to have no gravity and where on your body would be thinner and fatter. First we measured three different places on our legs the ankle calf, and thigh. Then we stood still for ten minutes and saw how that affected the measurments. After that we layed in a reclined position for ten minutes and wrote all the Data in a graph. WE had another activity...

CEV's

Well,yesterday we did CEV's. For the Goddard girls they had to build and design their Crew Exploration Vechiles from scratch. But luckily for my group since I was a Da Vinci Diva. I decided to make it easiler for my group and choosed to remodel my CEV because in my case I thought that it would save more time. But also then I could help the ones that arent done or ones that need help.And I also was lucky to have such a easy going team we finished our CEV with hours left. Though sadly when everyone was done 1 of the Booster's fell off but I said to myself " no problem a little glue would do...
