Challenger Classroom Adventures: Aquatic Investigators

Instructor - Serena Gayles and John White

The Commander of an undersea lab informs the students that Eric and his fellow Hawaiian monk seals are missing from their usual home in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands. The Commander asks the class to investigate why seals left their home and determine the possible location where scientists should look for them. As they work to find the answer, a seaquake takes place damaging the undersea lab and putting the crew at risk. The team must work together to quickly repair the lab and ensure the safety of the crew. When the crisis is averted, the group returns to continue their search to find the missing Hawaiian monk seals.

A Preferred Choice

Instructors - Zena Butler

Journey with us as we prepare to drop anchor in the midst of a weather alert, which brings about torrential rains and quickly gives way to a sloppy, soggy, floody mess! During our program students prepare for a flood event, then are requested to assist another, by using criteria and constraints to provide the best solution for the  scenarios experienced. So, hop on board and register your class for events that give way to this localized, natural Earth changing disaster on humans!  (PE 4-ESS3.2)

Post-visit activities will be shared via email after the program!
