Robots are beginning to come together in this middle school STEM elective.
We are beginning to explore ecology and the living and non-living things that are elements of ecosystems.
The sixth grade students recently explored living and working in space on board the International Space Station. Students investigated what it takes to create a human-safe and comfortable environment in the absence of gravity. They learned the importance of the Environmental Control Life Support Systems (ECLSS) that make life possible on the ISS. As a culminating activity, the students (working individually or in pairs) then used their new understanding of ECLSS to design spacesuits that would allow astronauts to bring portable life support systems with them on spacewalks.
