Artemis Learning Pathway

NASA EPDC has designed 8 weeks of Educator PD sessions and companion Student Engagement sessions for you to engage and inspire students in the upcoming Artemis I launch. The educator sessions will be held at 7 pm EST on a Wednesday and the companion student session will the held the following day, Thursday 10 am EST. These sessions will help you tell the Artemis story (8-part story) and implement a hands-on activity in a culturally responsive manner. We highly recommend that you be prepared with materials in advance for the PD and for your classrooms. Specific materials list for each topic is shared below.

Week 4 - Artemis I Launch

In this online PD session, you will learn how to bring the rocket science of Artemis I Launch to your classrooms with hands-on activities and pedagogical recommendations.

Artemis I Mission will take off to the Moon on the most powerful rocket ever built- the SLS. Rockets help us break the chains of Earth’s gravity and capture the human imagination unlike anything else. Rocket science is synonymous with complexity. In this session learn how to bring rocket science in your classrooms with simple activity on foam rockets. Students will learn how to manipulate design variables to achieve the desired outcome.
