Let's Launch! Science Series for Students in Grades 5-8


Challenger Center’s first Flipped Classroom series is called Let's Launch! Join Maya and her friend B.U.D as they learn about planetary science – Mars, the Sun, Near-Earth Objects, the Moon, and the Solar System. Each course includes an 8-10-minute animated video accompanied by three lesson plans for use in the classroom. Most lessons can be completed using common household items. Younger kids may enjoy watching the videos to learn about science and space.
