Goddard Girls

So far the week at Goddard girls is pretty fun.Today we took a bus to Cambridge to talk about space. The bus ride took about 40 mins.When we got there a scientist named Brad gave us a tour of his lab. We saw a contraption called a Centrifuge. This peice of technology is for astronaunts up in space. This helpes the astronauts get as much calcium as their bones need, because in space there is no pressure so their bones lose alot of calcium and thay are of no use when the astronauts get to the space station , moon or any other place there going. the Centrifuge spins in a circle around and...

Trip to the MIT on the Moon

We spent a day at MIT today. It was slow paced at first when we had to take a hour long bus ride to get there. Then, We waited and listened to a lecture/discussion all about space suits and attempts to modernize them. The day drastically inmproved when we were able to go on the moon walker. A simple contraction made of pulleys, a battery, a metal support, and wiring. The moon walker makes you lighter by hooking you onto the device. Then, you walk, hop, and run on the treadmill beneath it. WARNING!!! The moon walker can give wedgie/rashes as my fried puts it.

safety

Today we basically learned all about safety! We learned what things would be the most important and the least importantin different experiences. We learned what you would need if you went of the boat and were on an island. The best one was learning about what you would need if you landed ofcaorse on the moon. That was more fun because we need shelter to survive, so we built forts that we would use on the moon. We were split into groups and we rolled up newspapers, then stapled them together to make our fort. After we were all finished with our forts, we combinded them together to make one...

First Day Fun

Today was the first day of Goddard Girls. At first, it was really quiet beacause only the Davinci Divas knew each other, but then everyone started to talk and it became more lively. We first talked space and what NASA is. Then we moved on to our first activity and tried to survive in Jamestown with our groups. Then we went to the STEM lab and tried to survive on the moon in 2025. Next we built moon habitats. It was a lot of work, but it was really fun in the end when we put them all together. And we all had our pedometers today. Some girls got up to 2000 steps, but I only got about 1097. I...

The First Day Of Camp

August 2, 2010

Today was the first day of camp. It was not exactly what I had planned because, the first activity we did today was survival lists, which really dont interest me at all. We did 2 of them which I think was too many. Also the second activity we did today was building our moon habitat. It was a whole lot of fun. We had to roll up 37 pieces of 4 newspapers stacked in a pile to make these logs. Then we followed the guidelines of the packet we were given. From there we stapled them into the form they should be. Next we stapled all the parts together and got a wicked awesome...

Survival

Today we learned a lot about survival. We even did survival activities of back then and the future. I learned that one of the most important items for survival is oxygen, food and water. Without any of these things you probably wouldn't be able to survive. We also went to the stem lab and built moon habitats. We learned that moon habitats are for humans when they land on the moon. The moon habitats that we built today were made out of newspaper but some of them were very sturdy and firm and some -my group's included- were kind of flimsy and they were hard to stay put.After each individual...

First Day!!

Today was a awesome day!!! It was fulled of adventures and suprises!! My favorite part would have to be when we made like our own little forts at the UMASS place.I loved the way it turned out!!! My teamates and I had a ball trying to figure out how to roll the paper in those little tube things,then trying to start a structure. Another good part of my day was that survival now and then thing. I liked that becacuse it was cool. You were like getting your point of view with your servival things and a point of view with the experts. Also I'Ve already made lots of friends so thats...

Davinci Divas' trip to the Ecotarium

Tuesday, August 27, 2010

Our second day as Davinci Divas and we explore the many habitates of each animal we saw. The princible we learned today was Sfumato. The whole purpose was to watch a show about planets and galexies in the planetarium. Most od the show was about the predictions scientists today have of two galaxies colliding in to one. Our adventer moved on as we learned about there habitats. We discovered more and more. The lesson reminded me of a book I read, Invissible Man by Ralph Ellison and he comes to his own ideas of the world an d trusting himself and himself only....
