School presentation

The Los Angeles Unified School District: Local District South, Los Angeles, California at The Council of State Science Supervisors (CSSS) Annual Conference, Los Angeles, California

CSSS is the only professional science organization whose members have direct accountability to the state government agencies given the constitutional authority for education. Each of these supervisors plays a key role in directing efforts at improving school science and ensuring excellence and equity in science education in their states.

This partnership with ARISS is a way to showcase the importance of space education and create enthusiasm among state leaders that can be shared with teachers across the nation. CSSS partnered with students from the Los Angeles Unified School District, The Jordan-Locke network comprised of 16 elementary schools for this event. Participants in the ARISS contact include 6th grade students from the 92nd, 93rd, and 96th elementary schools.  The District demonstrates that all children can achieve their highest potential when the conditions for learning are at an optimum by integrating project based learning into the academic achievement of students in all subjects. All schools are located in Watts or South Central Los Angeles and consist of a predominantly Latino and African American Student population with poverty rates in the 95-100%

Participants will ask as many of the following questions as time allows:

1. Kaitlyn:  In Science class we learned that it takes a tremendous amount of energy and speed to escape Earth’s gravity. Can you tell us how you felt as you were climbing upward through Earth’s Atmosphere?

2. Su’Ron:  Reentering Earth can be very dangerous for astronauts. Can you please tell me what steps do you follow when reentering the Earth’s atmosphere?

3. Eric:  In Los Angeles, there are many street lights at night that prevent us from seeing many stars in the sky, but when we went camping in the mountains we saw more stars.  Now that you are in space, can you see even more stars than we see here on Earth?

4. Jaliah:  In Science class we are learning about germs and how fast they can spread. Do germs multiply as fast in space as they do on Earth?
