Detailed description
This workshop by La cabane à culture (French only) was developed in a collaboration between Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec, the Canadian Space Agency (CSA), École en réseau as well as the libraries and the pedagogical advisor from the Marguerite-Bourgeoys school service centre in Montreal (CSSMB). It will be led by Caroline-Emmanuelle Morisset, Senior Scientist at the CSA. Before the event, students can tackle the scientific journalist challenge, which will get them to prepare questions for Caroline-Emmanuelle. During the event, she will answer some of the questions and set the stage for an exciting activity: a rover mission to discover water on the Moon!
The students will:
- learn about the responsibilities of a scientist at the CSA
- do a hands-on learning activity about lunar rovers and geology including selecting the location and season on the Moon
