Ms. Hoeltke and Ms. Sheets develop a claymation project centered around the theme, “A Mission to Mars.” Designed as a collaborative effort between NASA and Purdue University, the project requires students to develop animations that reflect knowledge of space, time, and the interdependence of life and various environments. Students research books, magazines, and Internet articles to gather information about Mars. They then create spacecrafts, storyboards, and scripts based on their research.
