Being in the NASA program has been fun, and educational. I learned alot of new things about the jobs that people do. I also learned what kind of education they need to do their job. I also new and intersting words like the binary code, what the word NEAR stands for, and alot more. Being in the program has taught me a great deal about the importance of getting an education. Another thing it has taught me is that even though you may not still be in school, you still learn just not one thing but alot of things in just that one day and can still have fun!
Hi! I 'm a Garddard Space Flight Center SUNBEAMS student. We did alot of fun experiments that you will enjoy very much. We made craters in sand and flour. Then we measured them to see how deep they were. We made a meteor with clay and beads. We also identified different colors in differents lights of a spectrum through a clear slide. Our instructor, Ms. Gina Stokes, made a comet out of: 2 cups of water,a large plastic bag, 2 cups of dry ice, 1 cup of dirt, 1 tablespoon of amonia, 1 tablespoon of dark syrup, 1 large plastic mixing bowl, 1 pair of working gloves,1 wooden spoon, and a paper towel. We learned alot of new words such as gamma ray, Hubble Space Telesope, Astrophysics, micrometeorites,etc. I don't want to tell you everything because it won't be a surprise. See ya!
Whats Up People! I have had a great time here at the Goddard Space Flight Center. The SUNBEAMS program has taught me a lot about space. We have learned how to conduct interviews and what questions to ask and not to ask. I've learned how to make a hairy comet using alot of different things. We made craters using sand and flour. Then we measured to see how deep the crater was. We made a meteor with clay and beads. We also identified what they were . Before I forget, we also identified different colors lines in a slide. So in closing, if you come here you'll have fun! See ya!
