Today in the computer lab, I'd like you to put on your astronaut gear and head up to space! Below you will find several links to different sites about space exploration, designing parachutes, and information about planets. Use the first half of the lab time to do some space exploration then leave a comment below about what you did and ONE FACT about what you learned. Then, please continue working on your typing practice lessons and studying for the NWEA tests. (Remember, our next test is later this month! Practice, Practice, Practice!)
The Space Place NASA has put together a bunch of games for kids just like you to learn about space. (Which is exactly what we will be studying this trimester. Wink, wink.) Brush up on what you already know about space and maybe learn something new with these games!
Space Treasure Hunt The name says it all with this one. Have fun on a treasure hunt through outer space!
Design a Mars Parachute! This website lets you build a parachute and test it. This is similar to what we are doing in class with our aerospace engineering unit!
Mars Exploration Check out Mars and use the information you find to help in our study of aerospace engineering. You may get ideas for your own spacecraft design!
Mars Tour See all the latest images of Mars and get close-ups of the surface of this celestial body (nice vocab word) as well as many other great images.

sattlles have good sights of Earth
SAtellites have a great view of earth from space
A parashute has to have STABILITY to fly or it will just flop around every where.
when you make a parachute you have to make sure it wont rip or drop faster than it is suppost to.
wieght on mars and earth are diffrent cause on mars its less weight
I lerand thatwhen you go to mars you need to pack goood stuff in sted of bad stuff on your aircrafdf
if you whant to make a parashute to mars you have to make it have good stability and make sure it is thik and wont rip.
I learned that you dont want to much of a diamiter on your paracute
i like the mars tour because it has diffrent photos and i really like the space place bec it has alot of fun game what i learned it that you need the right parachute to land if you dont you would crach on the planet.
The mars tour is soooooo cool you can see awesome photos from pics today and in the past. What i learned was that you cant land on gasous planets.You need to make sure the right temp. i wouldnt want to be an astronaut.
If ypu were to make a paurach you have to make the right ajustments so you dont hurt anybody eli
4 billion years ago a big astrod hit mars
i like this it is a good sigh for lorning about planits
i learned that being an aerospace engineer is a hard job because of the "disighn your own parachute thing must be extremely hard compared to a computor game!by the way i figured out how to get past that game. :D
I think that I would not want to be the guy that had to go to an unknown p,lanet and explore when I don't know anything about. I think that it is a good idea to send rovers so if you don't know about the planet you send them so no one gets hurt trying to explore the new planet and look for what they are looking for. And they can do their jobs without getting hurt on the job.

I learn the mars tour I saw rocks it was so cool
and fun from Abby
I passed the parachute game on the 4 tests! I just did:
low
high
med.
I learned Mars has te largest volcano in the solar system.
