Suggestions from Review Committee

The team of 5th grade students from Milton Terrace South were thrilled to learn that their proposal had been selected as the proposal to fly on the shuttle from our community.  Dana and Kate both asked if they could scream when they found out the news.  However, they needed to put the excitement aside and get to work answering questions from the national review team on the experiment materials and handling requirements.  The national review team suggested that they switch from using just one egg to considering using more than one egg, in case the egg didn’t hatch.  They made the decision to put down 15 as a worst case scenario with the idea that they would probably end up using 5 eggs.  The review team also suggested that they switch from a Type 1 Well to a Type 2 Well so that you have more oxygenated water available for the fish after they have hatched.  This sounded like a great idea and the type of well was changed.  The changes to the Experiment Materials and Handling Requirements were submitted at 12:02 pm, a full 2 hours and 58 minutes ahead of schedule.
