DES@Mars 2024
Role: Scientist
DES@Mars 2024 is an Interactive Analog Simulation exercise for the elementary school grades. The students acting as astronauts through an holistic experience can test and improve their abilities in STEAM activities, while as in social skills – leadership & team working – each to the common and their own benefit.
Scientist, welcome to DES@Mars2024 Mission. Your action tasks are mainly to configure all scientific equipment to gather the data required for NASA Mission Control Center (MCC) and validate the results of mission targets.
ACTION TASKS
Task 1: Scientific equipment to be configured
- The scientific equipment needs to be configured accordingly to gather the data required, such a weather data. Record their data and provide them to the Engineer for sending to NASA MCC.
Task 2: Validate the results of mission targets
- Expedition mission targets need to be validated according to protocol as provided from NASA Jet Propulsion Lab.
The Area
Mission Assessment
The mission success is based on the realisation of all required tasks, timing, motivation of the crew, quality of performed tasks and independence. At the end of the mission, students present their results on the summary meeting. Everyone elaborates the lessons learned. The Assessment takes place by utilizing the following rating model.
NASA 6-Es Rating Model
Each day or section of activities utilizes the 5-E Instructional Model (a constructivist learning cycle, helping students build their own understanding from experiences and new ideas). It has a growing research base and can be used within integration, Problem-based Learning (PBL), Project-based Learning (PjBL), and Universal Design for Learning (UDL). Included in this program guide is a sixth ʻEʼ for Excite. This additional ʻEʼ shows you how to incorporate NASAʼs unique information and resources to excite trainees with career connections, real world examples, spinoffs from NASA research and more.
- Engage: During this stage students are getting interested and personally involved in the lesson, while pre-assessing prior understanding.
- Explore: The purpose for this stage is to get students involved in the topic, providing them with a chance to build their own understanding.
- Explain: At this stage students have the opportunity to communicate what they have learned so far and figure out what it means.
- Elaborate: The purpose for this stage is to allow students to use their new knowledge and continue to explore its implications.
- Evaluate: Here both students and teachers to determine how much learning and understanding has taken place.
