This episode of STEM in 30 celebrates the 15th anniversary of continuous occupation of the International Space Station and looks at the incredible accomplishments of the last 15 years.
NASA astronaut Randy "Komrade†Bresnik and ESA astronaut Paolo Nespoli join STEM in 30 to talk about their recent six-month stay on the International Space Station (ISS).
Learn what is like to live and work on the International Space Station from astronauts who have been there.
Listen to a live chat with astronaut Victor Glover, who was orbiting 200 miles above on the International Space Station. Glover discusses his experiences as astronaut and the importance of the ISS.
In conjunction with Future Engineers, students talked with NASA astronaut Dr. Serena Auñón Chancellor about 3D printing, and what it's like to be on the International Space Station.
Watch the live downlink with the International Space Station. Students from around the country got to ask questions live to NASA astronaut Randy "Komrade†Bresnik.
Teachers, tune in to this special, 50th episode of STEM in 30 to learn all about STEM in real life.
Through a gardening activity, students will use their knowledge of growth to determine the effect of gravity on plant growth.
Astronaut Peggy Whitson helps out with a gardening activity that you could do at home or in the classroom.
In this episode of ISS Science you'll learn how you can spot the ISS.
Astronaut Randy Bresnik will have a unique view as he watches from space. In this episode of ISS Science, find out how the ISS crew will watch and learn how to build your own eclipse.
Learn about the equipment astronauts use to complete a spacewalk, including something you may not think of.
Students will investigate the geometry of the International Space Station's (ISS) orbit and its motion relative to the Earth.
Did you know astronauts can see volcanoes erupting from space? Learn about this from NASA Astronaut Ricky Arnold and see a model volcano erupt.
This unit begins by introducing students to the historical motivation for space exploration. They learn about the International Space Station, including current and futuristic ideas that engineers are designing to propel space research. Then they learn about the physical properties of the Moon, and think about what types of products engineers would need to design in order for humans to live on the Moon. Lastly, students learn some descriptive facts about asteroids, such as their sizes and how that relates to the potential danger of an asteroid colliding with the Earth.
In this lesson, students are introduced to the historical motivation for space exploration. They learn about the International Space Station as an example of recent space travel innovation and are introduced to new and futuristic ideas that space engineers are currently working on to propel space research far into the future!
Learn about the countries and agencies that worked together to build and work in the ISS, then challenge your students to collaborate in a virtual breakout room.
Learn about the distance to the ISS using a simple scale modeling activity, then challenge yourself and your students to build their own robotic arm with materials from home.
