EarthKAM Klimate Analysis Mission 
(You need to have Microsoft Power Point to view this file.)
Eighth grade science students were given the opportunity to compete in a mission sponsored by ISS EarthKAM (Earth Knowledge Acquired by Middle school students).  This program is a part of NASA's education program, and it enables students, teachers and the public to learn about Earth from the unique perspective of space. At the core of the program is a spectacular collection of digital images of Earth. The image collection and accompanying learning guides and activities are extraordinary resources to support classes in Earth science, space science, geography, social studies, mathematics, and  communications.

Two Upper Moreland students, Justin Brown and Robert Goold, chose to participate in this ISS EarthKAM Mission.  The focus of their mission was The Urbanization of Upper Moreland, and they produced and submitted the EarthKAM Klimate Analysis Mission hotlinked above.    Congratulations to these students for completing the mission successfully, and many thanks to Ms. Gregory and Mrs. Petrash for their support and guidance throughout the development of the presentation.    

2007 FIRST Lego League Robotic Competition
Sixteen Upper Moreland students will be participating in the 2007 FIRST Lego League Robotic Competition.  Many thanks to the Upper Moreland Chapter of the Pennsylvania Association for Gifted Education (UM PAGE) for their sponsorship and financial support of these students.  Thanks also to the Upper Moreland Educational Foundation for awarding UM PAGE a grant to support this project.   The following students chose to participate this year:
