In
this
lesson
students
investigate
bathymetric
mapping
of
deep-sea
habitats
to
see
how
deep-sea
areas
of
the
northwestern
Hawaiian
Islands
can
be
mapped
to
facilitate
their
exploration
with
a
manned
submersible.
Students
will
create
a
two-dimensional
topographic
map
from
bathymetric
survey
data,
a
three-dimensional
model
of
landforms
from
a
two-dimensional
topographic
map,
and
will
interpret
two-

In
this
video
lecture,
Helen
Sharman,
the
first
British
astronaut,
gives
an
account
of
her
personal
experiences
on
the
space
station
Mir.
Using
models
and
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.
Sharman
explains
how
breathing,
eating,
using
the
toilet,
and
recycling
were
accomplished

This
downloadable
educator's
guide
provides
lessons
about
space
suitable
for
younger
students
which
are
designed
to
stimulate
an
active
curiousity
about
the
Sun-Earth
connection.
The
thirteen
lessons
are
divided
into
three
groups.
The
first
group
of
lessons
illustrates
how
scientists
work
with
technology
to
gather
data
and
extend
their
senses.
The
second
group
helps
to
explain
how
scientists
investigate

In
this
activity,
students
will
learn
how
a
satellite
communicates
information
to
the
earth.
They
will
discover
that
satellites
use
a
transmitter
and
reciever
system
to
send
information
and
that
the
information
must
be
transmitted
correctly,
recieved,
and
understood
for
effective
communication.
They
should
also
understand
that
satellites
transmit
information
as
a
stream
of
numbers,
and
gain
experience

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
organized
to
form
images.

In
this
activity,
students
work
in
groups
to
research
Galileo
Galilei,
Johannes
Kepler,
Hans
Lippershey,
or
James
Metius,
scientists
who
all
made
advances
related
to
the
telescope.
Each
group
will
share
results
by
making
a
presentation
to
the
class.
Then
the
class
will
decide
who,
if
anyone,
they
think
should
be
given
credit
for
inventing
the
telescope,
and
why.
They
will
then
summarize
their
findings

In
this
activity
students
use
simple
materials
to
make
model
sailboats
which
must
stay
upright
and
sail
straight
in
a
testing
tank.
The
activity
introduces
the
terms
sail,
stability,
leeway,
resistance,
floating,
displacement,
propulsion,
steering,
and
keel.
Sailboat
hulls
are
designed
to
pursue
a
straight-ahead
course
with
as
little
disturbance
of
the
water
as
possible.
At
the
same
time
the

In
this
activity,
the
process
of
finding
the
epicenter
of
an
earthquake
with
a
travel
time
graph
is
simulated.
During
the
course
of
this
activity
students
will
model
how
earthquake
waves
travel
through
the
Earth
at
different
speeds,
construct
and
utilize
a
graph
to
characterize
the
relationship
between
distance
and
time
of
travel
of
seismic
waves
(a
travel
time-curve),
and
use
the
