This Blog
is to enable my past, present and future students to share my learning journey
at the U.S. Space and Rocket Center in
Huntsville, Alabama, USA, where I will be involved in activities that NASA
astronauts and support crews would experience in their training.
Firstly I
wish to apologise to my own children, Connor, Curtis, Ciara, Casey and Cameron
for not being able to take you with me...., but I will bring back some goodies
for you (not the same I know!). I would also like to thank the Nambour
Rotary Club, Education Queensland’s Science and Engineering Education Centre
and the University of the Sunshine Coast who has very kindly funded this
amazing scholarship.
I am so looking forward
to a packed week of excitement. Educator Academy is going to be the ultimate
experience, and I can not wait to come back and bring the excitement of science
into my past and future classrooms! The next time I launch rockets with my
students, I want them to go off with a bang and not just a fizz!
Please
feel free to comment or ask me questions throughout my week, remember to
include your name, Year level and your school.
Mrs
Butler
