My Project

Students in our STEAM classroom love to read about science and space. Our class has learned about the day and night sky, the Sun, and Moon. Now, we would love to show them the moon and stars up close through the lens of a telescope. Our students and their families will work together to put together the telescope and use it for a night of stargazing.

Our goal is excite our student and families!

The Stargazing journal and pens will allow students to write down details of their night sky observation. The timer will be used for our STEAM events. We want more students to see STEAM as a possible career.
