By Linda Butler Melissa Trevino, a sixth-grade sixth-grade teacher at Central Elementary, has been named by the Air Force Association and Aerospace Education Foundation as the Utah State Aerospace Education Teacher of the year for 2001. Mrs. Trevino has developed devel-oped a sixth-grade science curriculum that includes and incorporates a wide variety of subjects. "We design and conduct a valid scientific experiment," says Mrs. Trevino. "We also focus on research for their project reports in Reading and Writing. Making tables and graphs is taught in Math. All subject areas are integrated inte-grated to reinforce each other." Trevino's students have a number of opportunities in which to use their developing develop-ing scientific skills. Sixth-grade students who have good attendance, behavior, and work habits may work in the Christa McAulliffe Space Education center. Students can act as aliens or work behind the scenes, helping visiting students stu-dents "fly missions." The walls and ceilings of Trevino's classroom are covered cov-ered sixteen different constellations con-stellations and with photographs photo-graphs taken by the Hubble Telescope.

Students make paper Space Shuttles, model Hubble Telescopes, and edible Mars Rovers. The highlight of Trevino's Space Exploration Unit is the Mars Millennium Project. The students research Mars and prepare to send 100 people to colonize the red planet. The students work in teams to choose landing and building sites, select their astronauts, draw and plan their habitats habi-tats (colonies), and create space suits. The Mars Millennium Project continues during an overnight camp at Clear Creek, Alpine School District's outdoor education camp. During the camp, students stu-dents continue work on their habitats, they model their space suits, and design Mars-landers for raw eggs that will help the eggs survive a fall from a tall ladder to a cement floor. While at Clear Creek, students also take a survival sur-vival hike through deep snow, "just like they do when training astronauts who will be sent to the International Space Station," says Trevino. The students have especially espe-cially enjoyed the Mars Millennium Project. One student responded to another student's brag- contest at Central School. Zaner-Bloser sponsors the annual National Handwriting Contest to emphasize the importance of good handwriting. "Despite high-tech communication commu-nication devices, every business busi-ness still depends on pens and paper. We want to encourage students to develop good handwriting," says Georganna Harvey, national product manager for Zaner-Bloser.
