robots, rockets and stars People have always been fascinated with the heavens, and our quest for knowledge has only grown more fascinating with time. In this course, we start with the basics--observation of the sky and a study of the physics of space. Next, we'll push on to the beginnings of space exploration, including rocketry, and pose the question 'What do we do once we're in space?' To answer this question, students will investigate how people live in space and grapple with robotry similar to that used by astronauts today. Finally, we will explore where to go from here, or "What is the future of space exploration?"	Nathan Gibbs, Carole Matsumoto	Salt Lake Elementary
