Our Week of STARBASE

Think of all the different sessions you've participated in at STARBASE.  What has been your favorite learning experience?  My favorite was the session on Nanotechnology.  I think it is so cool how scientists can look at the smallest particle, the atom, and change it so that we can improve inventions.  Can you believe how pants can be water and stain resistant by putting "whiskers" on the cotton fibers??  How cool!

My favorite part was when we where in the computer lab. I like when we made the space craft and the UAV (unmaned air vehicle). I like how you can change where it is (background) and what color each part of these things you want them to be!

My Favorite experience was with Commander Janz.Iliked hers because we built molocules with atoms. I liked it when she got out the paper and she got a liter and caught the paper on fire and in seconds it was gone!!!!! I also liked her class because we we worked with chemicals like Calciam Cloride and stuff like that. I overall enjoyed it so much . Thank You Star Base Commanders - Sam J

My favorite part was when we where in the computer lab and we got to build a rocket on the computers. What amasied me is that you can build the hardes thing that would take mouths to build but online it takes like 30 mins.But the part i can wait for are when we get to blast off the rockets tomorow I can't wait. <3

My favorite part was eggbert because my crew and I had a great idea for securing the egg in the front, but we didn't think about the egg hitting the back of the seat.

I really like Commander Janz's classes. She is an awesome teacher(but not better than Mrs.Crowley). I like creating Exothermic reaction, with calcium chloride. I really liked the paper that was dipped in a vat of chemicals. It looked really cool. I really liked using all of the chemicals we used. But overall I liked all of the classes and all of the commanders. We are very lucky to do this this year. PS Im stoked for launch tommorrow!!!!!!-Jacob

My favorite one we did was the air pressure with the marshmellow. It was with commander Janz.

i think that my favorite session is the warm-ups and cool-downs. i like this one because we could test the different chemicals and see which one would make the water cool or make the water warm. it was so much fun.

My favorite part was when we got to build our rockets and our education. I am really glad that we got to go to starbase. I was jumping out of my shoes when I found out that we were going to starbase. I was so bummed when we had to leave. I also had fun building my rockets-Jake C.

the part i enjoyed the most was building the rockets because we are going to lanch them in the feild and they will go 400 to 500 feet. And then we can run after them.

My favorite part was when buliding the rockets. The rockets were hard 2 build but it was really fun. Also my favorite was just being at STARBASE 4 the fun of it. If I could be at starbase for ever, I would cause I luv it. also if I had to I would take a job there. STARBASE was AWESOME. I wish I could get held back so I could go again. (NOt really)

I liked the UAV project in the computer lab on the first day of STARBASE. A UAV is a plane that has no driver. It's controled by a computer at the air force.

My favorite part was when we were building the rockets. But i also liked when we were in the computer building uav. But i also learned when it was no air outerspace that if you did not have any gear to put on you would explode. But i liked it when we were on the bus we would do review questions so we would be ready for the next day. But i also liked when we made spacecrafts so i would luv to go back to STARBASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm thrilled that you all enjoyed STARBASE. It sounds like you learned so much! Please keep your flight logs. You can use them to study for our Force and Motion ClassScape Test and our 5th Grade Science EOG. But most importantly, it will be great to look back through it and remember all of the amazing experiments, tests, and hands-on activities you did. Plus you get to shoot off your rockets!!!!

My favorite part was the computer lab and all the other things we did, and the most funny thing we did is with the marshmelo because the marshmelo got rely big then got rely small, and when we built the rockets. Faith Myslinski

My favorite part was when we made the space-station in the computer lab at STARBASE. My space-station had the colors yellow, red, silver, gold, white, blue and red-velvet. We also added backgrounds to our space-station pictures. There were alot of backgrounds , but I picked the background space_3 (which was a photo of Mars). This was my favorite part because I got to learn more about computers and how to design stuff on them.

Starbase had it's good and bad parts just like everything else! I did like the fact that there was no evaloution, but my favorite part is when we built the rockets and got to launch them! The name of my rocket is Daniel the Fish Launch! Mostly, I had a good time, the computers are still a problem!
