The Board showing like diagrams and tables. When I picture a mathematician, I think of someone also in front of the board with complicating math problems showing a lot of numbers. Math is related to science in many ways. For example, you might have to use math in experiments, when finding the variables for something, etc. - Destiny https://padlet.com/alexa_nelson2/q6pb0hggy3vbj2c4/wish/1237727113 2021-02-24 18:10:17 UTC https://padlet.com/alexa_nelson2/q6pb0hggy3vbj2c4/wish/1237727113 Physical Science apply to aeronautics because physics allows us to explain how engines work; how airplanes and helicopters fly. Physics also apply to space exploration because again, physics can explain how engines work, in this case, how rockets/spacecrafts are launched into space. - Destiny https://padlet.com/alexa_nelson2/q6pb0hggy3vbj2c4/wish/1237800255 2021-02-24 18:24:09 UTC https://padlet.com/alexa_nelson2/q6pb0hggy3vbj2c4/wish/1237800255 Dorothy Vaughan is a black woman, a mathematician at Langley. She doesn't really remind me of someone I know. - Destiny https://padlet.com/alexa_nelson2/q6pb0hggy3vbj2c4/wish/1238068508 2021-02-24 19:15:28 UTC https://padlet.com/alexa_nelson2/q6pb0hggy3vbj2c4/wish/1238068508 In the 1940's, jobs that were available to Black woman was working at laundromats and as teachers. It was so unique that Dorothy applied for a job at Langley because she is a Black woman. - Destiny https://padlet.com/alexa_nelson2/q6pb0hggy3vbj2c4/wish/1238186364 2021-02-24 19:39:22 UTC https://padlet.com/alexa_nelson2/q6pb0hggy3vbj2c4/wish/1238186364 In the 1940's, Langley were in need for more computing pools. As well as, engineers to focus on more research. NASA had to start focusing more on space, not just aeronautics. - Destiny https://padlet.com/alexa_nelson2/q6pb0hggy3vbj2c4/wish/1238239208 2021-02-24 19:51:18 UTC https://padlet.com/alexa_nelson2/q6pb0hggy3vbj2c4/wish/1238239208 Dorothy handles her work and family life by working hard to provide the best for her family. I think it is something we still see today; lots of parents still do work hard for their families at home. - Destiny https://padlet.com/alexa_nelson2/q6pb0hggy3vbj2c4/wish/1238312072 2021-02-24 20:08:06 UTC https://padlet.com/alexa_nelson2/q6pb0hggy3vbj2c4/wish/1238312072 Dorothy and Katherine's experiences are similar to each other because they both love math and both worked very hard to get to where they are in life. - Destiny https://padlet.com/alexa_nelson2/q6pb0hggy3vbj2c4/wish/1238325319 2021-02-24 20:11:21 UTC https://padlet.com/alexa_nelson2/q6pb0hggy3vbj2c4/wish/1238325319
