| BlackoutAt 5:15 PM on November 9, 1965 most of the northeastern United States went dark. The cause? Not a terrorist attack. Not a group of incompetent workers. Not a huge natural disaster. The great blackout was caused by a small metal relay doing exactly what it was supposed to do.Grades 6-8 Science |
| Science Matters: Marconi's First TransmissionAt the end of 1901, twenty-seven year old Guglielmo Marconi made the first transatlantic wireless transmission but his outstanding achievement, like so many of the breakthroughs of science, was built on the discoveries of others.Grades 6-8 | 9-12 Science |
| TethersNASA Connect segment explaining how NASA uses tethers to help propel spacecraft already in orbit. The segment also explores the NASA project called ProSEDS which is the first to experiment with a tether system.Grades 3-5 | 6-8 Science |
| Propulsion In SpaceNASA Connect segment exploring how NASA is researching to design, build and test a new propulsion technology that uses magnetism, electricity, and tethers instead of rocket engines.Grades 3-5 | 6-8 Science |
| Make It Go ActivityNASA Connect segment involving students in an activity called Make It Go which simulates NASA research. It uses an Electrodynamic Demonstration Unit to investigate electricity and magnetism.Grades 3-5 | 6-8 Science |
| Electromagnetism ActivityNASA Connect segment explaining how NASA is using electricity and magnetism to propel spacecraft into orbit. The segment also explains acceleration, mass, and force in an algebraic equation.Grades 3-5 | 6-8 Science | Computer-Technology |
| Algebra and ArraysNASA Connect segment exploring how algebra and arrays are used in NASA's activities. The segment also explains voltage, current, amp, and resistance.Grades 3-5 | 6-8 Science | Mathematics |
| Electricity and MagnetismNASA Connect segment involving students in an online activity that investigates a physics module on electricity and magnetism. The activity studies static charge, moving charge, voltage, resistance, and current.Grades 3-5 | 6-8 | 9-12 Science |
| Solar Storms and SatellitesNASA Connect segment explaining how NASA scientists use satellites to study and predict solar storms. The segment also explores which satellites are used, why this research is important, and how the storms might affect Earth.Grades 6-8 Science | Mathematics |
| Air Pressure and Algebraic RelationshipsNASA Connect Segment exploring drag and algebraic relationships. The video explains flow visualization and air flow and how engineers use algebra in their work.Grades 3-5 | 6-8 Science | Mathematics |
