Future Astronauts

We had a BLAST at the Challenger Learning Center!  All of the Challenge students had the opportunity to take this field trip.  Each group participated in a space simulation and a rocket building class.

Elementary students (1st-4th grades) mission was "Mystery in Space," and their goal was to discover the mystery object they spotted in space.  By using the visible spectrum, students were able to identify that the mystery object was a comet. 










Middle school students participated in a mission too.  Their mission was to build a probe to land on the moon.  Students had the opportunity to experience what it's like in Mission Control and on a space shuttle.  Jobs ranged from Communication Officer to Life Support.
