Description
This Web Seminar was developed in collaboration with NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) and Arizona State University’s (ASU) Mars Education Program. The event took place on October 4, 2007, from 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., Eastern Time. The presenters were Dr. Michael Meyer, Senior Scientist at NASA Headquarters and Brian Grigsby, Assistant Director of the ASU Mars Education and Outreach Program at Arizona State University. Dr. Meyer used images to compare Earth with Mars and Mr. Grigsby provided an update of current and future NASA's missions to Mars.

National Standards Correlation

[HIDE CORRELATIONS]
- Physical Science
- Motion and Forces
- Objects change their motion only when a net force is applied. Laws of motion are used to calculate precisely the effects of forces on the motion of objects. (9-12)
- Whenever one object exerts force on another, a force equal in magnitude and opposite in direction is exerted on the first object. (9-12)
- Earth Science
- Properties of earth materials
- Earth materials are solid rocks and soils, water, and the gases of the atmosphere.
- The varied Earth materials have different physical and chemical properties, which make them useful in different ways, for example, as building materials, as sources of fuel, or for growing the plants we use as food.
- Changes in earth and sky
- Some changes to the surface of the Earth are due to slow processes, such as erosion and weathering
- Some changes to the surface of the Earth are due to rapid processes, such as landslides, volcanic eruptions, and earthquakes
- Earth in the solar system
- The earth is the third planet from the sun in a system that includes the moon, the sun, eight other planets and their moons, and smaller objects, such as asteroids and comets.
- The sun, an average star, is the central and largest body in the solar system.
- Gravity is the force that keeps planets in orbit around the sun and governs the rest of the motion in the solar system.
- Science and Technology
- Understanding about science and technology
- Tools help scientists make better observations, measurements, and equipment for investigations. They help scientists see, measure, and do things that they could not otherwise see, measure, and do.
- Science and technology are reciprocal.
- Technology is essential to science, because it provides instruments and techniques that enable observations of objects and phenomena that are otherwise unobservable due to factors such as quantity, distance, location, size, and speed.
- Process Standards for Professional Development
- Research-Based
- Address teachers' needs as learners and build on their current knowledge of science content, teaching, and learning. (NSES)
- Design
- Introduce teachers to scientific literature, media, and technological resources that expand their science knowledge and their ability to access further knowledge. (NSES)
- Learning
- Incorporate ongoing reflection on the process and outcomes of understanding science through inquiry. (NSES)
