Students Visit the Armstrong Air and Space Museum

On November 8, TRECA Digital Academy students visited the Armstrong Air and Space Museum. 

The Armstrong Air & Space Museum shares the story of Neil Armstrong and all Ohioans who have attempted to defy gravity, the Space Race, and current space exploration! Our visit included a guided tour of the museum, a short 30-minute documentary, “Discovery Time” in the Modern Space Gallery, and a parachute egg drop experience that taught students important concepts used in science, engineering, and mathematics. For the parachute egg drop activity, students worked in groups to create a device that would land safely without breaking the egg inside, using only the materials given, which taught students about the difficulty of landing rovers on other worlds.
