The NASA Educator Professional Development Collaborative at
Texas State University is providing a 1-hour webinar.
Join us for this final of a series of four webinars that will honor the memory of Christa McAuliffe as we present the recently released Christa's Lost Lessons.
Christa McAuliffe was chosen to be the first teacher in space. Due to the tragic space shuttle Challenger disaster in 1986, she did not film the science lessons in space as planned. Educators-turned-astronauts, Joe Acaba and Ricky Arnold, spent the 2017-18 school year aboard the International Space Station for A Year of Education on Station.
As a tribute to McAuliffe and her legacy, Acaba and Arnold completed her mission. The demonstrations were filmed aboard the International Space Station and corresponding lessons were developed for classrooms.
For this webinar participants will learn about hands-on standards aligned activities about chromatography and capillary action. Explore how capillary action occurs in microgravity on board the International Space Station. Investigate how black ink divides into different colors through chromatography. Compare and contrast capillary action as seen on the Internationals Space Staion and in your classroom on Earth. Also learn about leaf chromatography and walking rainbows.
Celebrate the 20th anniversary of humans on the International Space Station while learning about micro-gravity.
Leave with a classroom ready Powerpoint that works great for an in-person, at home or virtual presentation. It includes embedded videos, links and aligns to NGSS.
This webinar addresses the Next Generation Science Standards PS2-1and PS2-2 and Common Core Math Standards.
