My class is learning about the solar system and we recently went to the California Science Center to view the Space Shuttle Endeavour exhibit.
What an amazing experience.

A great follow up to this field trip was courtesy of Lakeshore Learning.
They sent me a box full of their educational software and I immediately explored the
Can Do Science Game Show Solar System for grades 3-4
You can choose to play with 1-4 teams and can also adjust the length of game.
Here's a sample question
A spinner feature adjusts the topic of each question
At the end of the game a prize selection page shows
Plus a score report shows the results of each team and it is printable too.
An added bonus is in the menu feature you can use a printable pre/post assessment in conjunction with the software.
Other goodies that are equally fun and educational include their math and phonics versions.
If interested, Lakeshore has a buy one get one 50% off offer thru March 17th
Wow! What an amazing field trip! I hope to make it down there before too long to see it myself.

I loved it. They showed us a video of the whole process it took to get the shuttle to the CA Science center...moving it through the streets and all. Pretty neat.
