Star Trek Live
Grades 2-8
Audience members join Starfleet Academy only to be unexpectedly whisked into an adventure steeped in the grand tradition of Star Trek itself. This “out-of-this-world” interactive adventure is based on the most popular science fiction franchise of all time. Awesome special effects, audience interaction and an exploration of real space-age technology lead to an unforgettable journey through the universe. You and your students “will boldly go where no one has gone before!”™
California Content Standards easily applied in your classroom:
- 2.SC.PH.1: The motion of objects can be observed and measured.
- 5.SC.EA.5: The solar system consists of planets and other bodies that orbit the Sun in predictable paths.
- 8.SC.4.b: Students know that the Sun is one of many stars in the Milky Way galaxy and that stars may differ in size, temperature, and color.
LESSON PLAN IDEA: Star Trek is full of “good” science and “bad” science, i.e. possible technology vs. impossible technology. Research this topic and use “good” science to back up the findings.
