Living and Working in Space: Energy

Participants explore the use a solar panel to generate power During this half-day symposium, a NASA scientist, and engineer, and two education specialists guided participants through easy-to-understand explanations about solar energy, spacecraft power systems, the Sun, solar panels, and habitats. The presenters modeled activities that participants can use in their classrooms with their students. They also showed several movies and computer simulations about the Sun and about the most recent space shuttle mission to the International Space Station, STS-115.


The program was designed for teachers of grades 4-9.
