When a community purchases a Voyage Solar
System exhibition for permanent installation, they also receive
at no additional cost:
Master copies of:
- A tour brochure, customized to your community,
facilitating a self-guided tour for visitors.
- A tour brochure facilitating a self-guided tour
for a group or class.
- An activity guide that facilitates inquiry-based
activities and 'experiments' that use the exhibition as a laboratory
for Solar System exploration. Used in this way, Voyage
can explain many aspects of the night sky as seen from Earth,
and reveal what would be seen if you looked up in the sky from
the surface of another planet.
- An extensive suite of grades K-2, 3-4, 5-8, and
9-13 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.
- New grade K-13 lessons as they are developed.
- Activities for family and home use.
As well as:
- 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.
- Ongoing access to Teachable Moments in the
News—web-delivered breaking news stories in Solar System
exploration, packaged with downloadable lessons and educator training.
- Ongoing access to our staff educators and planetary
scientists, to assist your community's educators with questions
in both science content and pedagogy.
- Ongoing access to resources at the program web
site.
