| Following a critical analysis of the activities provided in the "Mission Prep" lesson manual, we have determined that the activities may meet the following Maine Learning Results. Additional learning standards are touched upon, as indicated in the table included, however, we, at the CLC of Maine, feel the "Mission Prep" activities best meet the following standards. Inclusion of the specific learning goals is in progress for each of the standards below. Science and Technology
Mathematics
English Language Arts
Visual and Performing Arts
Health and Physical Education/ Health Education
Social Studies/ Geography
