Great resource!

very detailed!
I imagine most people glaze over this information/event in history. This resource connects you with the humans that were involved and will allow students to feel a personal loss.

Respectfully Done!
Having items for the students to color as well as follow along and take notes keeps students engaged in the activity. This resource is well done, fact based and allows for great discussion!

I used the PowerPoint as a lesson for my students and they had the fill-in booklet to write their notes as they learned all the different aspects of this Space Flight!

Another "Where were you" moment
Man. This is intense for such a "simple" resource. Very detailed for the space given (no pun intended). The PDF and the PowerPoint are both super resources on their own, but used together, they are dynamic. Thank you.

Tons of information!
This lesson is jam packed with fun facts and interesting tidbits! The PowerPoint can easily be projected for the class to follow along with or sent out for them to view the digital version.

Very educational!
Our class recently went on a field trip to Johnson Space Center. This is an excellent companion product.
