STEM
Salisbury Middle School

The 8th grade Salisbury Middle School STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics) science students have had the opportunity to play the role of NASA planetary scientists and develop a recon mission to a possible planetary candidate for colonization. Students in Chad Pavlekovich’s class had to research the planet and describe in detail the planetary characteristics (distance from star, size, atmospheric content, geographic data etc). Students then had to design and engineer a rocket, lander and planetary rover to explore and collect samples from the planet’s surface to determine if man should consider this planet a possibility for colonization. As part of the conclusion to this project, student teams will present and defend their procedures, designs and findings to their fellow students and guests. There will be two sessions with 4 groups presenting their projects and defending their research during each session on March 16. Session 1 will be from 12-1:15 p.m. and Session 2 will run from 1:30-2:45 p.m. 410-677-5149.
