Several students work at their workstations in Mission Control in the Challenger Learning Centre
Strand A : STEM Investigation and Communication Skills
A1.1 use a scientific research process and associated skills to conduct investigations
A1.2 use a scientific experimentation process and associated skills to conduct investigations
A1.3 use an engineering design process and associated skills to design, build, and test devices, models, structures, and/or systems
A1.5 communicate their findings, using science and technology vocabulary and formats that are appropriate for specific audiences and purposes
A3.1 describe practical applications of science and technology concepts in various occupations, including skilled trades, and how these applications address real-world problems
A3.2 investigate how science and technology can be used with other subject areas to address real-world problems
Strand E : Earth and Space Systems
E1.1 analyse the impact that conditions in space have on humans engaged in space exploration, and explain how humans meet their social, emotional, and physiological needs in space
E1.2 assess the role of space exploration technology in observing and understanding environmental changes on Earth, including climate change
E1.3 evaluate the social and environmental impacts of space exploration, while taking various perspectives into consideration
Strand A : STEM Skills, Careers, and Connections
A1.1 apply a scientific research process and associated skills to conduct investigations, making connections between their research and the scientific concepts they are learning
A1.2 apply a scientific experimentation process and associated skills to conduct investigations, making connections between their observations and findings and the scientific concepts they are learning
A1.3 apply an engineering design process and associated skills to design, build, and test devices, models, structures, and/or systems
A1.4 apply coding skills to investigate and to model scientific concepts and relationships
A1.5 apply their knowledge and understanding of safe practices and procedures, including the Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS), while planning and carrying out hands-on investigations
Strand E : Earth and Space Science
E1.1 evaluate social, environmental, and economic impacts of space observation and exploration
E1.2 evaluate how space observation and exploration technologies contribute to our understanding of climate change, natural disasters, and other phenomena
E1.3 assess ways in which technological innovations related to space observation and exploration are applied in various fields, including their contributions to sustainable practices on Earth
