Both 5th grade classes at Lincoln School completed a virtual mission with Heartland Community College's Challenger Learning Center today! To align with their solar system unit in science, students worked in teams (Geology, Navigation, Conditions, and Rover) to determine the most suitable destination on Mars and its moons for humans to inhabit. Both classes successfully completed the mission!
