Creating Modules and Presenting Modules

I have had a busy couple weeks since my last post! Last week I presented my Pulsar Algebra module to  education specialists from the ten NASA centers across the country.  I have four people interested in presenting my module, which is AWESOME. I am so excited!  Since then, I have been making final edits to my powerpoint and rundown for the module.  I cannot wait for education specialists to start using it!

This morning I presented my first already-existing module, Our Magnificent Sun, with Damon at Kennedy Space Center.  It was such a wonderful opportunity and experience; I want to present modules forever, haha. The students I presented to were first through third graders in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania.

Besides working on my module and learning to present Our Magnificent Sun, I have been working with Karen and two other interns on a Rockets to Race-cars activity called Fluttering Fun.  This activity turned into a days-long discussion about mass and weight, which I loved because I got to use physics and math to explain the difference between the two.  At the end of next week I will be an instructor for this activity when students visit Langley.

I cannot believe time has flown by so fast.  I am already in week seven!

The DLN staff got me Dunkin' Donuts for my birthday!

Fun fact: Even though there are at least one-half million asteroids in the asteroid belt, the asteroids are, on average, between one and three million kilometers from each other.  Thus, if you are on an asteroid, you do not see another asteroid.
