This is an easy activity that can easily be scaled up or down depending upon the grade level. Students will make index card windows and place clear packing tape over them.

You can probably think of many other things, starting from these suggestions. If you come up with a good project, or if you win a prize for your project, please let us know so we can feature it here. Observation Database Using ground observations only We still have only a few satellite observations in the database, due to a variety of instrument calibration, data transfer, and processing problems. So, projects which concentrate on only the ground observations may be best for now. Retrieve all the observations for your location, and make graphs or charts. Are there any trends?

The boiling wax and water represent the earth in its molten form. Materials: Hot plate Small pan Water Wax (from candles is okay) Procedure: Boil water and about 2 oz. of wax in the pan. When the wax is completely melted explain to the class that this is what the earth was like about 5 billion years ago. Put the pan in a safe place and allow the students to observe it as it cools. What happens? (As it cools and hardens, the wax floats to the top.) Tell the children that the hardened wax represents the earth's crust. Follow-Up Discussion: Scientists theorize that as the planet cooled the less dense rock floated to the top Read More Go to Site Activity: Space Votes:0 Satellite Simulation Grade Level: 4 - 6 Discussion: With the aid of satellites we are able to quickly communicate over long distances. This demonstration uses a light beam to represent a radio signal being relayed from one place to another via a "mirror satellite." Materials: flashlight mirror Procedure: Explain to the class that our telephones work via satellite. When someone calls us, for example, their telephone company's transmitter sends a signal up to its satellite. The signal is bounced off the satellite and received then translated into words by our telephone. Ask for three volunteers and position them as the points of a large triangle. Give the CALLER a flashlight; the SATELLITE a mirror; and have the RECEIVER just stand.
