| 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 |
| 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-Nuclear EnergyThird segment of Rocket to the Stars describes Nuclear Energy and how NASA Scientists will use this energy in space exploration.Grades 6-8 Science |
| ArchaeologistsFourth segment of NASA Connect Hidden Treasures explaining what archaeologists do. This segment covers how archaeologists reconstructed the historic environments of the Mayan and their agriculture practices. Archaeologists try to use the information from the past farming practice of the Mayan to save the rain forests.Grades 6-8 Science | History-Social Science |
| ArcheoastronomyFirst segment of NASA Connect Ancient Observatories explaining the foundations of astronomy and the how the Earth moves relative to the sun. This segment explains how the Earth's tilt creates the 4 seasons.Grades 6-8 Science |
| ObservatoriesSecond segment of NASA Connect Ancient Observatories explaining how the height of the sun relates to the growing seasons and the length of daylight. This segment describes how Ancient Egyptian and Greek cultures used astronomy in their lives.Grades 6-8 Science | History-Social Science |
