Portable Space Shuttle Phoenix   Grades K-4

Space Shuttle Phoenix programs are written for grades K-4, and can be set up in your school's gymnasium. Each program is one hour in duration and students will get to participate in a simulated launch inside of the inflatable space shuttle.

Our K-1 portable mission takes the young astronauts on a journey through the solar system. Your class will visit each planet from Mercury to Pluto on their journey and learn interesting facts. Students will learn how big Jupiter's Big Red Spot really is.

Our other scenario has 2^nd-4^th graders experiencing many of the difficulties that astronauts face. Some of the activities your class will do include: working in a glove box, assembling a probe/satellite for launch while in orbit, and finding out just how disorienting space travel can be.

The Space Shuttle Phoenix requires a 45-foot long area for setup with a minimum of 9 ft. overhead clearance with access to an electrical outlet. Additional free space is necessary for activities.
