Students dove into the wonders of space through a cross-curricular science and ELA unit using TEL strategies. They researched planets, constellations, and star patterns, explored astronomy with the Star Lab, and created hands-on constellation models using cups and flashlights. After becoming “experts,” they taught younger students and strengthened their communication skills. They also interviewed NASA robotics engineer Jason Fugate, learning about real-world space missions and future career paths! #WilsonSD
