LPI scientists, education/outreach staff, and library staff participated in Space Day at K.E. Little Elementary in Bacliff, Texas on May 3. The school, which serves 925 students and more than 50 faculty, suspended regular classes for the entire day so that all could participate. Dr. Allan Treiman gave a talk on meteorites; Dr. Joe Hahn gave a talk on comets; Dr. Paul Spudis gave a talk on the Moon; Dr. Carl Allen (JSC) gave a presentation on Mars exploration; and Dr. Paul Schenk presented the solar system in 3D in the computer lab. Sandra Cherry, Delilah Cranford, Mary Ann Hager, Diane Myers, Mary Noel, and Pam Thompson gave presentations to K-5 classes on rocketry and space capsules and guided students in doing a related hands-on activity project. These activities were part of the EXPLORE Fun with Science program. Ms. Thompson also led a hands-on reflectance spectrometry lab with the 5th grade gifted and talented cluster. Space Day 2001 was a full day of hands on interactive space experience for all students pre-kindergarten to fifth grade. With the permission of principal, Mary Ann Cole, the school shut down the normal and went into outer space. Whether making moon cookies out of rice krispies and peanut butter, parachuting an "eggstronaut" from a fire truck, throwing a frisbee across the scaled solar system or listening to a planetary geologist discuss man's discoveries on the moon, Space Day 2001 at KE Little Elementary school wet the appetites of it's students and faculty and had everyone saying, "Lets do this again next year"!
