I have been fortunate enough to be granted tickets for my family to view the Space Shuttle Endeavours launch scheduled for April 19, 2011, on the NASA Causeway. In order to attend I will have to pull my kids (5th grade, 2nd grade, and Kindergarten) out of school. I'm a former teacher and I wanted my kids to do some research into the shuttle before the launch to broaden their experience. I also want them to keep a record of this once in a lifetime experience. I decided to create a unit that each of my kids could use to reach these goals. I figured there are probably other parents/teachers out there that could use these materials so I am sharing them for FREE at Teachers Pay Teachers. I hope that others can benefit from and enjoy the information that they learn while viewing the miraculous experience of a space shuttle launch!
There are activities for shuttle viewing, and researching as well as some things applicable to the KSC Visitors Center.
If you are pulling your K-6th grade student out of school for a trip this may be something you could do to enhance their learning on the trip as well as to show their school that learning took place on your vacation!
Again this is totally free, I am not trying to sell anything!
