Lori Jones on 19 Feb 12The Challenger Center also offers Special Needs missions. Lessons are differentiated as students will be assigned to different roles. This is a very "challenging" endeavor, and requires completion of lessons prior to the visit.

Excellent activity for grades five and up. "Students work as teams in mission control and aboard a spacecraft as they test their decision making skills and solve problems during this innovative, inquiry based, space-themed science and math simulation." This activity could meet MANY science standards and math standards including the Design Process, The Nature of Science, and Reading for Literacy in Science. For the purpose of this assignment, I am assigning it to: 6.2.4 With regard to their size, composition, distance from the sun, surface features and ability to support life, compare and contrast the planets of the solar system with one another and with asteroids and comets. 6-8.RS.1: Cite specific textual evidence to support analysis of science texts. 6-8 RS.3: Follow precisely a multi-step procedure when carrying out experiments or taking measurements.

Roughly every other year, the Challenger Center in Brownsburg gets a grant and invites us to visit for free. Unfortunately for your cohort, we went last year, but I'll invite you back next year if they get another grant. We usually go on a Saturday morning and IT IS AWESOME! I love being in Indianapolis with these fabulous resources available.
