FIELD TRIP: BUEHLER CHALLENGER SCIENCE CENTER
Today we had a trip to the Buehler Challenger Center, a facility in Paramus dedicated to teaching students what it was like to be on a space mission.
Before they could step into the simulator, the students participated in a team building activity that required them to roll a small ball down a length of pvc piping. The only catch was that each student only had about a foot of pipe and the ball had to be moved over 20 feet!
Once the students completed this they were able to step into the simulator
Inside the simulator students participated in all sorts of team activities to complete the challenger shuttle's origional mission to study the comet Halley
They even simulated a clean room!
While one group was aboard the space craft, the other team was in mission control, helping from the ground.
The students loved being part of a space mission, astronauts for a day!
