Living and Working in Space: Habitat |
During this full-day symposium, scientists and education specialists guided participants through easy-to-understand
explanations about the requirements to design and build a habitat for humans to live on in low-Earth-orbit, the Moon,
or Mars. The presenters modeled the inquiry process through activities that participants can use in their classrooms
with their students. They also talked about the upcoming space shuttle mission to the International Space Station,
STS-118, that will include the first Educator Astronaut and NSTA member, Barbara Morgan. All participants received
educational materials from NASA. The program was designed for teachers of grades 4-9.
This symposium was held at the NSTA National Conference on Science Education in St. Louis, MO.
