My Project
Every year I take my students on an incredible journey through our solar system. We learn about our moon, the sun, and the other planets. After traveling through the Milky Way, we share what we have learned at our school's annual Open House event. Students come back to school in the evening with their families to proudly display their knowledge.
It would be an incredible culminating activity to have a telescope set up at this annual event for students and their families to have the ability to see our solar system up close.
In addition to the telescope, the virtual science lab would enhance their experience while learning about the solar system. When students are engaged and having fun, they will remember what they are learning.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
