Student Experiment Flies On NASA Space Shuttle!
Young scholars design and construct an experiment that will be launched into space aboard a NASA research shuttle. How better to gain and appreciation for (and, hopefully, a love of) scientific investigation than to do real science and...
Curated OER
Space Ship Pilot
Students visualize the relationship between acceleration and velocity as they maneuver a model spaceship in a 2-dimensional applet.
Curated OER
Growing Plants Using Space Technology
Students explain why delivering planet nutrients to crops at the correct time and amount is important. Students list possible negative effects of improper nutrient delivery. Students descrive two problems that farmers are now able to...
Curated OER
Green Space in the City
Young scholars identify the different kinds and uses of green space that exist in an urban area. They create maps of local parks and research the history of each park. They conduct a survey of residents near the park and interview a park...
Curated OER
Green Space in the City
Students examine city parks and their importance and affect they have on the health and well being of a community. An oral report with visual aids is prepared as a group to educate the class on the importance of green space in the city.
Curated OER
#24 Rotating Frames of Reference in Space and on Earth
Students explore rotating frames of reference, focusing on the weightless environment in space and the Coriolis force.
Curated OER
Air Takes Space
Students examine how air takes space. They come up, push a deflated balloon into one of the bottles and stretch the open end of the balloon over the bottles mouth
Curated OER
Air Takes Space
Learners discover that air takes up space by watching the teacher demonstrate a simple activity using a glass jar, styrofoam packing peanut, and a clear bowl of water.
Curated OER
Air Takes Space
Students discover that air takes up space by watching the teacher demonstrate a simple activity using a glass, a piece of paper towel, and a sink full of water. They discuss their findings.
Curated OER
Lesson Plan on Kepler's Laws of Planetary Motion
Learners construct a solar system model. For this space science lesson, students calculate the eccentricity of a planet's orbit. They calculate the period of a planet's revolution using Kepler's formula.
Curated OER
Planetarium- Identifying Constellations
Young scholars explore the planetarium. In this space science instructional activity, students identify the different constellations in the sky. They make their own map of the constellations.
Curated OER
Mars Rover Races
Students simulate driving a rover in Mars. In this space science lesson, students navigate an obstacle while blindfolded and guided by verbal commands only. They assess the challenges encountered by astronauts in operating a rover.
Curated OER
Edible Model of the Sun
Students identify the different features of the Sun. In this space science lesson plan, students create a model of its surface using cookies and candies. They compare and contrast their model to the real Sun.
Curated OER
Endangered Spaces = Endangered Species!
Sixth graders discuss the crowding, loss of personal space, loss of home, loss of food, etc. that might occur at a developmental site. They witness, through an in-class demonstration, what happens when land is taken for development. They...
Curated OER
Moon Observations
Students study the science of the moon. In this moon observations instructional activity, students study vocabulary associated with the moon, study a lunar calendar, and a phases of the moon's orbit around the Earth.
Curated OER
Building an Ecologically Balanced Living Space
Learners design and build an ecologically balanced living space based on the principles of an old growth forest. They take one part of a house (or structure in the community) and redesign it according to the principles of the forest cycle.
Curated OER
Cargo Activity Practice
Students examine the cargo load that is needed during the simulation of a space rescue mission. They brainstorm in order to think of possible things needed onboard in storage. Then students create an inventory list that includes water...
