The
Challenger Learning Center at Wheeling Jesuit University
offers a unique hands-on learning experience designed
to enthuse middle school students about science
and math. Merging the power of imagination with
the excitement of discovery, students become engineers
and scientists as they simulate a space mission.
Students work as teams in mission control and aboard
a space station as they test their decision-making
skills, solve problems, and communicate alternative
means during this innovative space-themes science
and math lesson. Teachers prepare students using
both pre and post-flight activities that integrate
the experience into innovative classroom instruction.
Current Mission: Return to the Moon
Time: Two hours
for the mission and one hour of classroom activities
may be added.
Pre-training:
The teacher in-service provided by the Challenger
Learning Center staff for the purpose of student
preparation is required prior to bringing the
students. There is no charge for this service.
