 UNH Field Trip - EOS The event was celebrating the 20 years of space grants. We received a tour of the facility stopping at the machine shop (for metals), freezer room, classrooms, and research labs. We went outside to view the Sun safely using two telescopes with filters. One telescope had a special film covering the reflector telescope and the other had an Hydrogen-Alpha filter that looked red. The students learned about the ice core samples collected from all over the world and then we donned coats to see them in the freezer. We also went into an inflatable dome to view a planetarium show. Our guides then took us to the researchers who are shooting rockets into the aurorae near the North Pole. They are examining how our magnetic field changes and the particles that come through the magnetosphere. Lastly, we visited various displays of research projects and spoke with their project leaders. The seventh graders have completed projects sharing what they have learned. Some students chose to type up their notes in an outline, while others created poster displays, powerpoints, movies, and Animoto presentations. [An Animoto presentation allows for the student to choose their photos, music and format of the presentation.] Please feel free to view and comment for the assignment called UNH Field Trip. Here's an example of an Animoto project. Article posted June 11, 2011 at 06:46 PM • comment • Reads 1217 • Return to Blog List Add a CommentPosted Comments |
