Students explore space history with scavenger hunt

What color is John Glenn's hard hat?

Whose name is on the fire axe?

What are monkey treats made of?

Those are some of the questions children can try to answer during a visit to the U.S. Space Walk of Fame Museum in Central Florida.

Children ages 15 and younger are admitted free to the museum, which has developed scavenger hunt worksheets that lead to interesting and historic displays of manned space flight in the facility.

There are two versions of the scavenger hunt worksheet for elementary school students and older children with up to 32 questions designed introduce them to the beginnings of the U.S. space program. 

Ask for a scavenger hunt worksheet at the front desk as you enter the museum at 308 Pine St., Titusville, Florida. 

At the end of the visit, children participating in the scavenger hunt get a Space Walk of Fame aluminum coin.
