Day 2 with #NASAMgUE

The first day was amazing! The second day kept the fantastic experiences going. This was also the first day the team would be able to test the SLED on the PABF. The test was broadcast live for students to view at school. Following the test, we were able to video conference with the staff and students at the school. That was a definite highlight. Student questions ranged from questions about the tests to if we were staying in a hotel. Each day we wrote in our own science notebooks reflections and notes from the day. We also worked on 5E lesson plan to submit and a presentation for a NASA panel on Friday.
