Hi! I am a student from Terrell Jurior High School. My teacher along with some of her students and myself spent a week with the SUNBEAMS program. We did a lot of fun educational activities. We were assisted by Dr. Woods, and Mrs. Stokes. We did an activity called "Measuring the Angle of Reflection". We also did an activity called "The Broken Pencil in Water". We attended the 40th anniversary of NASA. We were able to eat a piece of a 40 foot cake. We also had free ice-cream. We danced and played also. After the 40th anniversary we made a comet. We learned that scientists discovered that there is dirt, ammonia, water, and syrup inside a comet. Then we made telescopes. We decorated them and tested them to see if they work correctly.
 

Hello! I am a student at Terrell Jr. High School. The last week we have been here at NASA,
and the NASA workers Ms. Stokes, Dr. Jo, and Mr. Wood helped us learn, learn, and learn about Stars,
Planets, Light-Years, Galaxies, Comets, the Sun and other fantastic stuff about our Universe. So
much stuff that will help us in the future! Maybe I'll be a NASA scientist some day. When I grow up I
would like to become a scientist like the great people a NASA. It shows that NASA is always
stuck helping the universe because when NASA had its 40th Anniversary none of the NASA
workers danced. I bet they were talking about what they were going to do when they got back in the office. They act like kids that got off of a 2 week punishment. I learned about the fourteen instrument's of the Hubble Space Telescope and what there function was. We learned how to make a comet, what
gases are given off by the sun and stars. We learned about the six layers of the sun. To all the people at
NASA, Thank you for having us and teaching us a lot of things, A special thanks to Mrs. Stokes, Dr. Jo,
Ms. Malloy, and Mr. Wood. See you in eight years and Good Flight, Good Night.
 
 

What I did at N.A.S.A. What I learned in the SUNBEAMS program was how to read people's mind with a card game and how to make a comet and the most fun at N.A.S.A was when we went to the party .
 
 

I have learned a lot from my visit to NASA GSFC and I feel very lucky to be in the SUNBEAMS
program. Some of the things I learned to do was: how to interview someone without getting personal; how
a sattellite works; all about spectra and how it helps NASA; and many other fun and educational
activities. We even had a chance to attend NASA GSFC's 40th anniversary. Being here was very fun and
stimulating to my intellectual mind. I cannot express my appreciation to the staff at NASA GSFC for
having me and my class explore and learn more about the world of NASA. Thank You!!!
 
 

My week at NASA was great. While at Goddard we did so many activites. On the first day we met Mrs.
Stokes and Mr. Woods. They gave us a notebook a pen and a pencil. Mr. woods showed us a slide of the
Goddard Telescope. We learned alot about Mrs.Stokes and Mr. Wood. Through the whole week I enjoyed
myself. Mrs. Stokes showed us the right procedure to do an interview.We talked about the sun and what
lives off of it. We talked about elements like silicon, helium, magnesium, iron, nickel, chromium, and
aluminum. We made a telescope that really worked. We also made a comet. My week at NASA was great.
 
 

Hi,I am a seventh grade student at R.H. Terrell Jr. High School. All this week my classmates and I have
been going to the sunbeams program. As you know it is at NASA and we do all kinds of hands on activties
that we don't usualy get to do at school. And as an extra bonus we got to go to the 40th anniversary
parade. We also got to see a model size mock up of the Hubble space telescope.  In closing I think all
kids should get the oppertunity that I did because it is a wonderful program (I am the one with the blue
shirt and red hat in the picture) Bye.
 
 

Hi, I am a member of the SUNBEAMS program. I am 13 years old in the 7th grade I am attending R.H.
Terrell Jr. High. So far I learned about the sun and other stars, galaxys, black holes, and magnifying
things. This program is a really good program for kids to learn about different things in space.

Now I'm going to tell you what I learned; the sun is made up of a big ball of gas and fuel. If it runs out
of fuel, it and other stars will explode. The galaxy is made of a bunch of stars. Black holes are formed
when stars die and it explodes and makes something like a ring. Well that's what I learned so far. So until then, peace in the middle east.
 
 

I am a student from R.H. Terrell Junior High School. My first trip to NASA was fun and educational.
We learned many new things that we did not know at school. We learned about the moon, the stars and
the Sun. We made a telescope and interviewed Dr. Wood and Dr. Jo. Dr. Wood talked to us about the
Hubble Space Telescope. We learned that when light hits a mirror at an angle, it will bounce off of the
mirror at the same angle. We learned about the parts of the Sun. The Sun's light keeps Earth from being
dark. The Sun's energy comes from a reaction in its core. We learned how to use light from the Sun to
identify elements present in the Sun. We learned how to read people's minds by using number cards. I
had a nice time during my trip to NASA. I would like to thank Dr. Wood, Mrs. Stokes, and Ms. Waynes.
 
 

Hello, I am from Terrell J.H.S and I would like to tell you about SUNBEAMS. My first day at
SUNBEAMS was so much fun. We interviewed Dr. Wood and he talked about the Hubble Spece Telescope.
We learned a lot of things about the Hubble Space Telescope. While we were there, we were invited to
NASA's 40th anniversity. It was fun, we danced, and had a good time.  We made a telescope and we had a good time making it.  My last day there, we had a good time and I hope you have a great time.
 

Hello friends out there. My class mates and I had a chance to come to the Goddard Space Flight Center to do our projects from May 3-7. The first day at Goddard we learned some things about the (HST) also knowed as the Hubble Space Telescope and some pictures that it took about stars, galaxies, and planets. The people at Goddard invited us to their fourtieth aniversery in which they had a fourty foot long cake and a band to play. The next day we did telescopes.  Parts of the telescope were hard but we did O.K..  I think me and my partner did the best telescope. It is a pleasure and honour for me and my class to be apart of the space program at Goddard.
 

Hi I am a student from R.H.Terrell Iam going to tell you something that I ENJOYED SUNBEAMS. The best thing I had fun doing was the broken pencil in water. When I first did this paragraph I thought that it was boring but during the week it was the 40 annivesary.  It was so fun.  I wanted to came back.  We interviewed Dr.Wood and Dr. Jo.  We asked them questions. In NASA they study about science.  I study things I don't know .
 
 

I am a student from R.H. Terrell Junior High School. My first trip to NASA was fun and educational.
We learned many new things that we do not learn at school. We learned about the moon, stars and sun.
We made a telescope, but I was not able to attend. We also made a comet. It was a blast. It was an honor to be recognized at the 40th anniversery. We also learned what the correct procedures were to an
interview.
 
 

HI!  I AM FROM TERRELL JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL. WHEN I WAS CHOSEN TO GO TO NASA FOR A WEEK I WAS SURPRISED! WE HAD SOME ACTIVITIES LIKE MAKING COMETS. HERE ARE SOME MATERIALS: WE USE 2 CUPS OF WATER, 5 LARGE PLASTIC BAGS, AND SOME OTHER MATERIALS.  WHEN I WAS HERE WE INTERVIEWED SOME FAMOUS PEOPLE HERE AT NASA.
 

I AM A STUDENT AT R.H TERRELL J.H.S IN THE SEVENTH GRADE.  DURING THE WEEK
AT NASA I HAVE EXPERIENCED A LOT, AND I FEEL THAT I HAVE LEARNED A LOT. DURING
THIS WEEK I HAVE LEARNED ABOUT DIFFERENT KINDS OF LENSES; FOR EXAMPLE THERE IS A CONCAVE LENS AND A CONVEX LENS. I ALSO LEARNED ABOUT A POSITIVE LENS AND A NEGATIVE LENS. I LEARNED ABOUT THE PARTS OF THE SUN.  NASA HAD THERE 40TH ANNIVERSERY,THEY HAD A 40 FOOT CAKE. I THINK THAT WAS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR ME. WE ALSO DID SOME GREAT ACTIVITIES LIKE WE MADE A COMET
AND WE MADE A TELESCOPE. I THINK IF YOU EVER GET AN OPPROTUNITY TO VISIT THE
GODDARD SPACE CENTER YOU SHOULDN'T LET THAT OPPORTUNITY PASS YOU BY.
