HTMS Science Teacher Attends Science Camp

Leigh Green, HTMS sixth grade teacher, represented Trussville City Schools at Space Academy for Educators in Huntsville, June 24-29.  A science teacher from each system in Alabama was asked to participate in the week long program to experience the authenticity of simulated space mission training in order to learn methods of delivering the excitement of space exploration in the classroom.
The program included authentic astronaut training simulators and activities developed to promote learning in a classroom setting.  The curriculum includes NASA content and is correlated to the National Science Standards.  Trainees in Space Academy for Educators get access to their own website with lesson plans, standards, and tips needed to adapt many of the workshop activities to individual class environments.
