Linear Equations: NASA Connect—Breaking Barriers
|
During this professional development session, participants received information
about implementing the Breaking Barriers activity. Breaking Barriers provides students
an opportunity to step into the shoes of a NASA engineer to design, build, and test
an X-1 balloon. Through data analysis students make conclusions about the speed
of their aircraft and make discoveries about average speed as a linear function.

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
features
of the web seminars and read answers to
frequently asked
questions
from participants.
