Cassini Scientist for a Day
An essay contest for students in grades 5-12
The Cassini Scientist for a Day contest challenges students to become NASA scientists studying Saturn. Participants examine three possible observations taken by the Cassini spacecraft and are tasked to choose the one they think will yield the best scientific results. This choice must then be supported in essay. The contest meets U.S. National English and Science Education Standards.
Learn about Saturn, its fascinating rings and two of its most intriguing moons. Once your research is complete, choose one of the three targets and defend your choice in an essay of up to 500 words.
Your decision should be based on which target you think would provide the most interesting scientific results. Just like real scientists do, explain what you hope to learn from the image you have selected. You have an opportunity to be a scientist for a day by telling NASA which of these three images taken by the Cassini spacecraft inspires you.



Nasa举办卡西尼一日科学家论文比赛
2016-2017年的论文比赛主题是研究土星，土星拥有着迷人的光圈和卫星。美国国家航空和宇宙航天局给出了卡西尼飞行器拍摄到的三张土星有关的照片，学生们可以自由从中选出一张图片，图片的选择是基于学生认为这张图片可以得出最有趣的科学研究成果，并在其论文中加以证实。这次比赛着重于培养学生像NASA的科学家一样去思考问题和用科学的方法去论证初始的判断能力。

博纳这次参赛论文由12年级的栾皓带领11和10年级的IVY Kelvin Lily选择研究土卫二（Enceladus）的间歇泉。他们已经提交了本次参赛论文，正在紧张准备下一篇参赛论文——关于怎样在火星上建立适合人类居住区。
