Pre-mission instruction at school will require approximately 90 minutes of preparation before attending this ESU 3 event.

Students should be able to apply the following math skills for grades 5-8:

•        Calculate the mean, median, and mode for a data set.

•        Use a box-and-whiskers graph to compare sets of data for characteristics critical to the FSI mission.

•        Interpret data from graphs and make informed decisions from this information.

•        Calculate the volume of an irregular rectangular prism.

•        Understand the connections between data sets and their graphical representation (box plots).

•        Use problem-solving skills to make decisions and solve problems.

Students should be able to apply the following content standard science skills for grades 5-8:

•        Acquire abilities necessary to do scientific inquiry.

•        Gain an understanding about scientific inquiry.

•        Use mathematics in all aspects of scientific inquiry.

•        Acquire an understanding of technological design.

•        Improve their understandings about science and technology.

•        Be aware that risk is part of living in a highly technological world. Reducing risk often results in new technology.

•        Understand the consequences of living and working in space.

•        Be aware that motions and forces are different in space than they are on Earth. When studying space, these differences have to be taken into account.

Approximately 90 minutes of pre-mission instruction is necessary before attending this event – teachers MUST attend a training session before students can attend.  Register for this event AND register for the September 16, 2016 training – link here!

Teachers are active participants and should be part of the day's events including supervision and participation. Sponsoring teachers will need a printed list of all student names present and turned in at check in.
