About This Provider

 

Challenger Learning Center at Wheeling University (West Virginia)

Wheeling, WV
United States

In addition to offering award winning, state-of-the-art programs in a $500,000 space simulator, the Challenger Learning Center, thanks to technology, brings its innovative programs to distant classrooms around the world through its electronic distance-learning programs, known as e-Missions. The CLC flies more than 800 e-Missions for schools, many located in traditionally underserved districts, each year. We provide FREE Teacher Training sessions via video conference for any of our distance learning programs.

The Challenger Learning Center® also offers adult and student learners the chance to climb aboard a space station and complete a mission in the role of astronauts, scientists, and engineers with its Corporate Missions. A successful mission requires critical thinking, leadership, cooperation, and problem solving.

Program Details

Format

This program begins with the Lab Director conducting a series of 'lightning rounds' to determine if the students have the basics. The topics of series & parallel circuits are introduced and then demonstrated using snap circuits and various familiar toys/games.

The teams work collaboratively to build their own circuits using an on-line Electricity Simulator that helps solidify the topics discussed.

Objectives

Students will learn about the ways we produce electricity; how electricity works; the fundamentals of series and parallel circuits and they will become proficient in creating their own circuits.
