Field Trips and Learning Opportunities
Curious Kid's Museum-Star Lab
Created by: Curious Kids Museum of St. Joseph, Michigan
Reason: This is a local kids' museum which offers several outreach
programs. The Star Lab is a portable planetarium, which presents the night
sky, from the North Star and it's constellations of the Zodiac, as seen by
five ancient cultures, and includes a slide show of NASA images, bridging
myth with science.
Air Zoo: The Total Flight Experience
Created by: Kalamazoo, MI Air Zoo
Reason: I chose this website because it is a local air museum
and a great place for field trips. Students could experience first hand what
it is like to be on a space craft and/or mission control.
Our Solar Neighboorhood
Created By: NASA Digital Learning Network
Reason: I chose this activity beacause it is a virtual field
trip. Students will exchange information about our nine distinctive planets
orbiting one massive star, our sun. They will learn about current NASA missions
and how to use the information gathered to further our exploration of space.
