When a community purchases a Voyage Solar
System exhibition for permanent installation, they also receive
at no additional cost:
- Master copies of an extensive suite of grades K-2, 3-4, 5-8, and 9-12 lessons that can be used by educators before and after a visit to the exhibition, and are so well aligned with curricular requirements as defined by national standards and benchmarks, that they are adoptable as some or all of the community's space science curriculum.
- A half- to full-day workshop for up to 60 classroom educators, and informal educators from museums/science centers, on the use of the exhibition and the Voyage educational materials.
- A family/public science program for 200 to 2,000 attendees.
- New grade K-12 lessons as they are developed.
- Activities for family and home use.
- Ongoing access to our staff educators and planetary scientists, as available, to assist your community's educators with questions in both science content and pedagogy.
- Ongoing access to resources at the program web site.
In addition, when a community purchases an exhibition, the Center will provide a review proof for a customized tour brochure—the Outdoor Exploration Guide. The Guide enhances the visitor experience by: providing visitor orientation, touring, and other relevant information; and facilitating use of the exhibition as a laboratory for inquiry-based exploration as part of a tour, whether it is self-guided or led by a teacher or docent. The Guide is purchasable in bulk from the Center. |
