Description

Class Experience

In the early days of space flight, NASA relied on ocean landings to bring astronauts home. NASA, and others, then changed the way that astronauts have returned to earth including shuttles and ground landings. NASA has now decided to return to landing in the ocean for many reasons! Join me in this one time class where we explore NASA's Orion Multipurpose Crew Vehicle through discussion, photos, and videos and then we talk about how we would design our own Multipurpose Crew Vehicle! We will...

Children will need:

Paper
Pencil 
Scissors
Markers
Glue, can be hot glue or glue sticks. Elmer's glue will work but is not best for this. 

Water in a container. This can be in a bucket, the sink, or a tub. Please be aware that having tubs, sinks, and containers filled with water can be a drowning hazard for those in the house. If you are worried about this, please skip this part of the experiment. 

Items for their design, this could include:
Foil
Plastic wrap
Popsicle sticks
Construction paper
Toilet paper rolls (the cardboard only)
Paper towel rolls (the cardboard only)
Boxes (smaller boxes, like left possibly food packaging, or Kleenex)
Straws
Buttons

and anything else you have around the house that your child can use to create their design.

50 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.

PLEASE NOTE: This activity includes the use of water and a container to drop our vehicle in. If you do not want to use this, you may use your sink or bathtub. Please be aware that having tubs, sinks, and containers filled with water can be a drowning hazard for those in the house. If you are worried about this, please skip this part of the experiment.
