An Awesome day at Goddard Girls!!!

Today we went to umass!! We were learning about how bodies work in some ways but on a manaquin because they say they rather try it on a maniquin then a human cause it might mess up a human body. Also for lunch we had sandwiches. with cookies and soda. the lunch today was kind of good but not better tan we had recently.Also today we are going to the pool to do NASA games i guess.ANd also today we talked to an astronaut it was really cool. Sghe answerd all my questions. My main question was how do astronauts take showert because they dont take showers up there. The answer is that they have a...

UMASS med school

Today, we went to UMASS medical school and did lots of cool stuff! First, we went on a tour of the simulation center. It's basically a bunch of rooms with these lifelike dolls that are used to simulate what it would be like to save a patients life. Rather than giving a real person a heart attack, scientists give a manakin a heart attack and students have to save its life. There was a normal human male manakin, an 8 year old manakin, a pregnant woman and baby manakin, a baby manakin, and a 10 minute old manakin. There's also a manakin that makes the noises of a heart, all sorts of different...

UMass Medical University

During my fourth day at the Goddard Girls Summer Pogram, we went to UMass where I attended Chinese academics. In the morning we saw many mannequins that medical students practiced on before they started to work with real human beings. I learned that they debriefed after a session. The dummies were exactly like real people. They had a pulse, they could breathe and speak to my surprise. After that, we went to interwiew a person that was the manager of the international space station. Her name was Dr.Liz Warren and she knew as much as an astronaut even though she has never gone into space...

School

I hate meet. I hate guns. Today is Thursday Augest 5, 2010! I Love swards! I hate axes. Today we drue a pictured then we practist intovering for the Astornut! I am in girl scouts on tuesday! I sleep in a tent at camp! I don't like to bleed.

I Love to drank water! I Love Jars!

We have to think os two 2 QUESTION TO ASK the Astronaut DR. Liz Warren Goal Research to space smilate ueightless on Eath is moon, mars, space, etc! Anh 1. Does space Affact you mentally? 2. How anyone ever gotten very sick in space? 3. How do you shower and keep clean in space? Do you sweet? 4. How do...

Building CEV prototypes at the Stem Lab

On August 4,

Goddard Girls have achieved to make prototypes of their own CEVs (Crew Exploration Vehicles) and presented with confidence. Our prototypes were made out of recyclable materials. Each CEV had fufil the requested nessesities when going to space by making the material represent them. Everyone worked as a team and we pulled it through. The whole day had been planed out and with that being said we spent the whole day there. Can't wait to enjoy the next days here!

Shine like the stars Goddard Girls

Yesterday we mostly stayed at the University of Massetusetts. We first start of doing a project seeing how your leg can change size by 10 minutes. Then we went into the lab and talked about what a CEV really means. NASA obviously use CEV's but the interesting thing is that the sattlites are retiring in two years.So with that subject we are building are "fake" CEV's, but we have to make rough drafts first. Next we ate yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyuuuuuummmyyyyyyyyyy pizza!After that we built are CEV's and interview are CEV's to everybody.Lastly we took a long walk to the sign of UMass to take a picture...

fun days

umm the other day when we went to umass i had so much fun we did alot of stuff in 1 day. wow..... i didnt no that we can do that we bilt this linggy idk wat its called but we did that n toke a pic n ya so then we tryed dry ice cream n that all pce...........................

Umass Campus!!

August 4, 2010............

Today we went to the Umass campus to create CEV's, which stansds for Crew Exploration Vehicle. We learned that when astronauts first travel into space they feel like they have a cold and the upper part of the face gets puffy. Which causes them a reaction not to feel thirsty because of the fluid shift that increases the blood volume. the food that astronauts carry are dehydrated because theres no water in space. We did a lesson on how to stimulate the fluid shift felt by astronauts upon entering space. Which was really cool cause you could actually feel on...

A Day in being an Engineer

Ahh another in space was thrilling........Nahh sike we were in Umass campus creating prototype CEV. What is that you asked? Well CEV is crew exploration vehicles that go into space. Well it was all fun and games till lunch arrived

The Girls at the STEM Lab

8 - 4- 10

At the STEM Lab, a part of UMASS, the Goddard girls did numerous things. We saw what happened to our legs when the force of gravity was changed by leaning them against a wall at 90 degrees, and measuring certain points in our leg, then standing and measuring the same point, then seeing what part of our legs expanded or contracted due to the change in gravity force.

Later we designed and built prototypes for CEV's, or Crew Exploration Vehicles. My team and I just modified a CEV that was made last week by the Davinci Diva's, which I was in, and it was done before most...
