Students work as a team and use their problem-solving skills to successfully complete a scenario-based science inquiry, based on a current space scenario. Offering a rich experience in science, the learning builds core science skills. Students will work in teams in a specialist laboratory, to simulate conducting experiments in space, students will wear specially designed spacesuits and act as astronauts and research scientists.
Students will analyse their plant and soil samples and undertake scientific investigations in the laboratory. The program is supported by a pre-mission training package including classroom activities and a debriefing program after the class returns to school.
