MESSENGER: Staying Cool – My Angle on
Cooling–Effects of Distance and Inclination
|
During this web seminar, teachers received strategies for engaging students in grades
5-8 in an activity related to NASA’s MESSENGER mission to Mercury. Participants
found out how to guide students as they perform an experiment measuring how the
heat experienced by a test subject changes as the distance or the viewing angle
changes.

This web seminar is part of a series of electronic professional development experiences
sponsored by the NASA Explorer Schools (NES) project. NES is NASA's classroom-based
gateway for middle school (grades 4-8) and high school (grades 9-12) classrooms
providing authentic learning experiences inspired by NASA's unique missions. NES
provides free teaching and learning resources that promote student engagement in
science, technology, engineering, and mathematics and opportunities for teachers
and students to participate in NASA's mission of research and discovery through
inquiry-based experiences directly related to the work of NASA scientists and engineers.
