Students will be engaged in this educational experience that provides insight into survival in a dramatically different habitat while promoting further questions about future research of Life Science in space.
Journey to Mars
Next stop: Mars! How will we get to Mars? What will we need on our journey and how long will it take to get there? Find out the answers to these questions and more in our presentation on the Journey to Mars highlighting NASA and its commercial space partners steps to land humans on the Red Planet!
NASA Deep Space Launch Systems
What is the SLS? How is the SLS going to take us to Mars? What is currently being done to make the SLS a reality and be the largest space launch system in the history of space exploration? Find out the answers to these questions and more in our interactive program on NASA's Space Launch Systems (SLS)!
Space Race to the Moon
Celebrate the excitement of landing on the moon for the first time with our journey through the Apollo space program! Students will gain valuable insight into the historical, social and political climate which helped launch the program and achieve the goal of landing on the moon.
Space Shuttle Designs
Do your students have what it takes to create their own space transport vehicle? Explore the history of the Space Shuttle program! Students will learn the basics of space shuttle designs and how these designs are being implemented in the new Space Launch Systems.
Tiger Team: When Things Go Wrong
The Challenger Learning Center of Lake Erie West offers distance learning opportunities that will bring the excitement of a simulated space emergency into your classroom. True to the Challenger Center philosophy, this simulation emphasizes experiential activities that promote teamwork, problem solving, communication and decision making skills. The "Tiger Team" seeks to find the solution to a simulated water emergency aboard the space transport vehicle. Your students will devise solutions, test these solutions, modify and retest as needed, and instruct the spacecraft commander as to the implementation of the solution.
Fee: $150
