Created by 130 Lakeview pupils with assistance from Lakeview faculty, Emerald High art students, and Lander University alumni, the Space Museum is intended as a tool to help Lakeview 4th graders learn about planets, constellations, space tools, and the relationship between the Earth, Sun and Moon.
"Through their own research, students became experts on a planet, constellation, space tool or space event," said Jenny Risinger, Lander '97, and science coach for Greenwood School District 50. "Then they used their math skills to create scale-sized models of the solar system and their objects for the museum."
