Why we did it:

We enjoyed viewing the planets through our class telescope and wanted to learn more on our own.
We were tired of listening to Mr. Holbrook go on about how tough school was when he was a kid.
We all want to become astrophysicists thanks to Mr. Holbrook.

 

How we did it:

We applied for a grant from the Martha Holden Jennings Foundation.
Parent volunteers helped with the difficult jobs.
Mr. Holbrook cut out the plywood pieces.
We cut, sanded, assembled, and painted the telescopes.
Since a picture is worth a thousand words, visit our photo album for a visual step by step explanation of how we built our telescopes.
