CAPSTONE TOPIC

For our senior CAPSTONE project I plan on writing a new curriculum for the sixth grade, which will enter in astronomy into what is taught.  The purpose of this is to expand children's views of what science really is and to open up their minds to careers which aren't exactly 'typical' fields of study.  I also plan on doing an ethnography to accompany the new curriculum as well as a website consisting of a study plan and different in class experiments to do.
