Get SEATed

Talk about a departure from my usual topics.  Perhaps this will generate some discussion though. 

Star Trek: The Original Series
Star Trek: The Next Generation
Star Trek: Deep Space 9
Star Trek: Voyager
Star Trek: Enterprise

I’ve always enjoyed scifi and my favorite out of this bunch would have to be The Next Generation.  I grew up with this series (and the movies).  Of course, I greatly enjoy the other series as well, but TNG is my fave.  Who out there hasn’t at one time or another wished they could have a transporter to beam back and forth between work and home?  I probably could use the stun setting on a phaser on a daily basis in my classroom, so there’s definite application to learning in that area. 

I’ve even heard of teachers who have discussions specifically on the science of Star Trek, so if it’s something that the students would be interested in, I’d give it a try.  I might even use that as an end of the year “mini-project.”  Hmm, I think I like that idea.
