A couple days ago Caryn put a link to my blog on Facebook and Twitter and my dad emailed the link out, so the jump in page views I have received makes me feel like a superstar, haha. Yesterday and today I continued learning the Our Magnificent Sun module, and I began reading through another one called Planet Hopping. I sent in my completed template for the pulsar algebra module I am making, so I will probably have more work to do with that sometime in the next couple days. Yesterday, Karen and I worked on a center-of-gravity activity she is planning for late July and we discussed ways to effectively incorporate math into it. It was great to refresh my memory of the science I learned in grades 4-6 and I enjoyed thinking about the connections to math we could make that fulfilled the Common Core State Standards for Math in the country. I cannot forget to mention the emergency frozen yogurt run Caryn, Karen, and I made today... what a wonderful idea that was! Tomorrow I am looking forward to NASCAR drivers touring the DLN as part of the Rockets to Race Cars program, which teaches students the contributions NASA has made to race car technology.
Today I got presents! Caryn gave me a flash drive and a NASA DLN notepad! THANKS CARYN!
Fun fact: Energy from the Sun's core takes 170,000 years to get to the Sun's convective zone, but once it leaves the surface it only takes eight minutes to reach Earth!
