The History of Spaceflight with Andrew Chaikin
During this online course, participants will complete a series of online units focusing on space science concepts to build core knowledge that can be incorporated into the classroom. This course will be taught as a general overview the history of space exploration and the technology that makes it possible with a special emphasis on the Apollo program and the content of the book “Man on the Moon” written by co-instructor Andrew Chaikin. As the course is intended for classroom teachers instruction we will place an emphasis on creating classroom materials aligned to the National Model Academic Standards in Space Science, as well as the use of best practices for teaching these objectives.
