video
lecture,
Helen
Sharman,
the
first
British
astronaut,
gives
an
account
of
her
personal
experiences

film
to
illustrate
key
scientific
concepts,
she
discusses
the
way
the
Third
Law
of
Newton
and
convection
apply
to
rockets,
space
flight,
weightlessness
and
survival.

group
of
lessons
illustrates
how
scientists
work
with
technology
to
gather
data
and
extend
their
senses.

In
this
activity,
students
gain
an
understanding
of
the
decision
making
process
that
scientists
use
when
designing
a
satellite.
They
will
discover
that
satellite
designs
are
constrained
by
such
issues
as
weight,
cost,
materials,
and
feasibility.
As
they
formulate
their
own
satellite
design,
they
will
discover
the
importance
of
evenly
distributing
the
weight
of
various
instruments
and
that

In
this
activity
students
investigate
the
role
of
the
Radio
Plasma
Imager
(RPI)
on
the
Image
for
Magnetopause-to-Auroral
Global
Exploration
(IMAGE)
satellite.
They
will
discover
that
the
RPI
is
capable
of
remotely
sensing
and
determining
the
density,
distance,
and
velocity
of
electrically
charged
clouds.
The
activity
explores
how
radar
works
and
how
the
data
is
collected
and
