More Information about our Offerings
Museum Tour
Booking a group trip at TASM is the only way to get a personal guided tour with one of our experienced docents, who share their stories of their time in the aviation industry as they explain exhibits, help the students with our interactive exhibits, and take the students through our American Airlines MD-80!
Teachers can also choose to have their students do a self-guided tour complete with a scavenger hunt designed to get those students reading and learning from the exhibits.
Planetarium Show
The James E. Bertelsmeyer Planetarium provides an exciting educational experience by pairing stunning high-definition visuals with state of the art technology in a fully-immersive theater atmosphere. In addition to daily screenings of full-dome videos, we also present interactive programs ranging from basic astronomy to earth science. TASM’s planetarium inspires curiosity seekers to explore our universe and discover the wonders of Earth.
For more information about our planetarium group and educational offerings, please fill out the Field Trip Request form found above.
STEM Activities
TASM offers many different hands-on and minds-on educational activities to suit your class’s needs. We link the classroom to aviation and space themes to engage students in an interactive learning environment. You don’t want to miss out on the STEM activities!
Stomp Rockets
The simple science behind how rockets really work! Introduces very basic physics (Newton’s 3rd Law of motion) and the different parts of a real NASA rocket. Demonstrations involving rockets to further explain Newton’s 3rd law of motion. Students also get to build their own paper stomp rockets and launch them outside, next to our American Airlines MD-80, using air pressure to create upwards thrust.
Recommended grade range: Pre-K to 5th
Mars Landers
A look into how NASA designs land rovers for other planets such as Mars. Students get to build their own landers and test them as they learn about the engineering design cycle used by NASA engineers to design and operate real life landers.
Recommended grade range: 4th – 8th
Physics of Flight
An in-depth look into the science of how aircraft fly! Students will look at the four forces that act on an aircraft in flight and how pilots manipulate those four forces to control their aircraft. After the lesson, students will have the opportunity to try their hand at applying what they’ve learned by designing and building their best paper airplane model!
Recommended grade range: 7th – 12th
Circuits and Generators
Have you ever wondered how electricity works? Students are introduced to the terminology and concepts that power all of our technology, and they even get to build their own circuit. Problem solve to make a functioning light switch, and see how motors create power using a hand crank generator!
Recommended grade range: 3rd – 12th
