Human Body: Space Adaptations
|
In this Web Seminar, teachers received information about the effects of microgravity
on astronauts. The presenter guided attendees through three grades 4-8 student activities
that provide a first-hand look at the effects of reduced gravity on bones, the fluid
shifts in the body, and the amount of oxygen needed to survive.

This web seminar is part of a series of electronic professional development experiences
sponsored by the NASA Explorer Schools (NES) project. NASA Explorer Schools invests
in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics educators to inspire and engage
a whole generation of future scientists, engineers and technicians that NASA needs
to continue our journey. NES gives educators of grades 4-12 free access to NASA’s
people, missions, research, and facilities. We take the work out of searching through
thousands of materials on the NASA website and provide a comprehensive set of teaching
materials for dozens of STEM concepts. For additional information about the NASA
Explorer Schools project, visit

Each web seminar is a unique, stand-alone, program. Archives of the Web Seminars
and the presenters’ PowerPoint presentations will be available through the
links on this web page. Learn more about the
