Marching to Spring!

Astronaut Training - By Gage
Last week in Science class, we were working on our “astronaut training.” We got to fill out our job applications, after doing the training. The job application is a form that we fill out based on the simulations we do in class, preparing for our mission at Buehler. My favorite simulations were the Isolation team, Data team, and the Remote team. The Isolation team uses a robotically controlled arm, which can analyze chemicals. The Data team sends typed messages, such as collected data and technical information. The Remote team analyzes materials such as micrometeoroids using a “glove box.” I put these teams as my top choices on my application, because they seem very interesting and might be a lot of fun.
The “astronaut training” is pretty interesting, and we are prepared and ready to go to Buehler, and take on the challenge of returning to the moon!Happy Easter by Ben and Christian

Easter celebrates Jesus resurrection from the dead. After Passover Jesus was arrested and crucified that day is known as Good Friday. Then 2 days after he rose from the dead. In 325 ad Romans declared Easter must be on a Sunday.

Spring is finally here by Zirui
Last week we had, hopefully, the last snow. Now it’s Spring and it’s getting warmer outside. Leafs start to appear on trees. We can finally go outside and have fun instead of just staying inside because it was too cold outside. Personally I think Spring is a great season. It’s not too cold nor too hot. Everyone is ready for Spring.
Africa by Michael
We are learning in history about the trade in Africa. Gold and salt were the items most popular to trade. We have learned that in the history of Trans-Saharan Trade the camel was the best animal capable of transporting goods across the Sahara. Why? The camel is able to drink up to 25 gallons of water at a time. This allows the camel to travel a long distance across the desert. The camel has two rows of eyelashes and hairy ear openings to keep the blowing sand away. As you can see the camel was an important part of the trade caravan in the Sahara desert.
