6th Grade Technicians

Dear Parents,

            On Saturday, February 20th, the 7th and 8th grade students will be presenting their P.J.A.S. experiments in the regional competition at California University of PA. During these presentations, we are required by P.J.A.S. to provide students to be technicians. The function of the technician is to time each presentation and help with running the overheads. We are hoping that our 6th grade students can volunteer to be technicians. Being a technician will give your child valuable insight to the program for next year’s competition.

             Unfortunately, we cannot provide transportation to the campus. You could arrange for them to ride with one of the students that are competing in the competition or you could transport them. A free lunch will be provided for them. Your child should be dressed appropriately (Church-like). They would need to be at California University for 8:30 am. The competition should end around 11:30am with lunch to follow. The presentation of awards is scheduled to take place at 1:30pm (Times subject to change: we will send the finalized information home prior to the 20th with the students that will be volunteering.) Students who volunteer will receive service hours!

    Orbital Sunrise

     
    The Expedition 24 crew on the International Space Station photographed this image of polar mesospheric clouds illuminated by an orbital sunrise. Polar mesospheric, or noctilucent ("night shining"), clouds usually are seen at twilight, following the setting of the sun below the horizon and darkening of Earth's surface. Occasionally the station's orbital track becomes nearly parallel to Earth's day/night terminator for a time, allowing the clouds to be visible to the crew at times other than the usual twilight because of the station's altitude. This photograph shows polar mesospheric clouds illuminated by the rising, rather than setting, sun at center right. Low clouds on the horizon appear yellow and orange, while higher clouds and aerosols are illuminated a brilliant white. Polar mesospheric clouds appear as light blue ribbons extending across the top of the image. The station was located over the Greek island of Kos in the Aegean Sea (near the southwestern coastline of Turkey) when the image was taken at approximately midnight local time. The orbital complex was tracking northeastward, nearly parallel to the terminator, making it possible to observe an apparent "sunrise" located almost due north. A similar unusual alignment of the ISS orbit track, terminator position and seasonal position of Earth's orbit around the sun allowed for this striking imagery of over the Southern Hemisphere.
