Dear Sara,
I was a science major at Bluffton college, and the one thing that really energized me about education and learning to teach was the little telescope that they had outside by the football field. I think it's a great idea for kids in math class to build a telescope. It's a great skill and it uses the education that they already have to accomplish something that they can be proud of. And it takes us back somewhat to the beginning of the scientific era... Galileo and such.
