On Tuesday, May 21st, St. Mary Catholic Community School in Crown Point’s Fifth Grade Classes went on a field trip to the Challenger Learning Center in Hammond, IN. Students worked together to complete their mission to “Rendezvous with a Comet.” Teamwork was an essential part for their mission as the mission control team had to communicate jobs to the spacecraft team. The students had success in their missions of identifying and naming two new comets. The classes completed their day with a rocketry lab where they tested Newton’s Laws of Motion.
