A Complete Lesson on Astronauts and Space Exploration
Train like an astronaut at STEM centers, design and build a model spacecraft, and write a travelogue about a space exploration journey with this cross-curricular PBL unit. Your 4th to 6th grade science students will learn all about astronauts and space flight in this complete cross-curricular project-based learning unit on space exploration. They’ll build background knowledge by participating in STEM-based “astronaut training” centers, do a “test flight” of a model spacecraft they design and build themselves, and write a space exploration travelogue that enables them to synthesize and showcase their knowledge of the astronauts and space flight.
