The Mars Project was really enlightening and it was also very fun to do over the course of 3 days. The project was fittingly divided into parts, which some had math, and some were there just for the fun of it. This made it fun and a productive use of time. After the project, we found out that there would be extensions to the project, in some classes, which would make it even more exciting. The science extension was to evaluate some nice samples, while the history extension had some thoughtful and meaningful questions about further colonization on Mars. Overall, this project was very fun to participate in, and it also helped me understand more about math, science, and history. 

"This project began as a collaboration between teacher and coach - we took the seed of an idea and fleshed it out together. This allowed for a robust activity including a variety of technology that was only possible with an extra person in the room. The coach also was able to bring it to the other classes for a cross-curricular connection. Additionally, the coach supported in the classroom allowing for station rotations and allowing the teacher to work with small groups."
