The K–12 Educational Program group at the National Center for Microgravity Research on Fluids<br />
and Combustion developed this educator guide at the <strong>NASA</strong> Glenn Research Center in Cleveland,<br />
Ohio. This publication is a product of 4 years of development and testing with over 1500 students at<br />
Six Flags and Cedar Point in Ohio. Special thanks go to the teachers who formally piloted this<br />
program with over 900 students. Their feedback was invaluable.<br />
