| Science Matters: The Suppression of Galileo IIIn 1632 the Church condemned Galileo Galilei for his belief that the earth revolved around the sun. His condemnation was not lifted until late in the twentieth century.Grades 6-8 | 9-12 Science |
| Science Matters: The Suppression of Galileo IFew early scientists contributed as much to the understanding of the way the universe works as Galileo, but in his lifetime he was not popular.Grades 6-8 | 9-12 Science |
| Sleep and the Circadian ClockIn the first segment of the Right Ratio of Rest: Proportional Reasoning, Lynn Swann gives a summary of the entire video. Next Jennifer Pulley explains to the circadian clock to R. J. and how sleep in space differs from sleep on Earth. The first segment ends with a inquiry based question about Norbert and Zot as they encounter light dark cycles on other planets.Grades 6-8 Science |
| Sleep ScheduleIn the fourth segment of the Right Ratio of Rest: Proportional Reasoning, R. J. talks with Dr. Dave Williams about the things that interfere with astronauts sleep in space. Dr. Dave Williams tells R. J. what it is like to sleep in space. Later on, R. J. receives a call from Dr. Charles Czeisler, Dr. Czeisler gives R.J. a schedule so that R.J. can get the full amount of sleep that he needs. At the end of the segment Jennifer Pulley reviews what we learned about sleep patterns and rest.Grades 6-8 Science |
| Rocket to the Stars-Program Hands On ActivitySecond segment of Rocket to the Stars contains a preview of the Program's Hands on Activity which allows students to investigate the relationship between height a marble is released and distance a milk carton will travel once the marble hits the milk carton.Grades 6-8 Science | Mathematics |
| Benefits of SleepIn the second segment of the Right Ratio of Rest: Proportional Reasoning, R.J. talks with Dr. Charles Czeisler about what the circadian clock is and what it does in the body. Dr. Charles Czeisler also discusses the factors that influence the circadian clock and the benefits of sleep.Grades 6-8 Science |
| Remote SensingSecond segment of NASA Connect Hidden Treasures defines remote sensing and explains how researchers use satellites to observe the Earth from space. This segment defines the electromagnetic spectrum and explains how satellites use different sensors to measure the invisible light reflected from Earth's surface. This segment also explores the definition of Geographic Information Systems or GIS.Grades 6-8 Science |
| Rocket to the Stars-Advanced Space Propulsion TechFourth segment of Rocket to the Stars describes a new rocket propulsion technology called Variable Specific Impluse Magnetoplasma Rocket or VASIMR for short.Grades 6-8 Science |
