◦ Research a space program in Florida. ◦ Write a 1-2 page report, prezi, powerpoint, or scratch program. The report needs to include but not be limited to: ▪ name of the space program ▪ 2-3 cited sources from the Internet (remind the students that colleges, universities and government websites are reliable) ▪ the dates the space program began and ended (if it ended) ▪ list and elaborate on at least 5 major details about this space program ▪ what were this space programs contributions to the space industry ▪ what (if anything) did this space program help scientists and engineers learn to better the space program in the future ▪ how did this space program affect local businesses in Florida? Positively, negatively, or both. Include details to support your answer. ▪ how did the creation of this space program affect local culture in Florida ◦ The students will write a closing paragraph from their research notes. This paragraph will summarize the research they located to support how the space program they researched impacted the culture and economy in Florida. Many space programs develop emblems to memorialize their program. Many emblems take the form of "patches" for these space programs. The teacher may use the following site to show students examples of space patches, []. To prepare for the following days activity (the class flow chart) the student should accompany their report with an emblem for their space program. Students emblems should reflect the information they learned through their research and not just be a copy of the emblem or "patch" they find online. Students will use these emblems to place the space programs they've researched in chronological order on the class flow chart/timeline.
