� Incorporated the technology resources of NASA, EAA and Space Explorers, Inc., to maximize the renewed level of interest among youth for space travel and exploration. � Provided a multi-faceted experience in which youth participated in events and learning experiences with their classmates at an off-campus school field trip, and where both students and educators experienced the internet-based Mars Explorer Simulation during Space Discovery Week, as well as at home and in the classroom. Students and teachers took part in a variety of workshops as part of EAA’s Space Week. Space Explorers involvement included leading activities centered on comparing similarities and differences between Earth, Mars, and our Moon. At the conclusion of the session, teachers and students received membership cards to continue learning through the Mars Explorer Simulation. This program engaged students in problem-solving activities in that participants encountered the same issues NASA experiences in its exploration of Mars, e.g., dust storms, solar energy lapses and navigating rocky terrain. Students were exposed to many fundamentals of space science including Newton’s Laws, Kepler’s Laws, gravity and orbits, and they examined the possibility of sustaining life on Mars by completing tasks such as taking panoramic spectral images, analyzing the magnetic field, and taking measurements of rocks and soil samples using a variety of scientific instruments. The project additionally met state and national science content standards for space/science content, hands-on science activities, demonstration of space/science principles, and application of space/science principles. EAA has demonstrated success in the development of activities and programs that are aligned with state and national standards. Pre- and post-learning materials, along with planned teacher’s guides helped educators plan for and maximize the experience. Results: EAA Space Discovery Week served approximately 1,700 school youth, educators and chaperones from local and regional schools, as well as a public audience of 1,000 adults and youth together for the featured weekend activities. Space Week was be held at the EAA AirVenture Museum in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. Evaluation: Follow-up evaluation with parents and teachers, who accompanied the students, resulted in positive comments and appreciation for bringing space to their children and students. Follow through by teachers with their students involving Space Explorers was excellent. EAA has experienced many return visits by students and family members. 18
Space Travel Simplified - Part 1 Bradley J. Staats Spaceflight Fundamentals, LLC New London, Wisconsin Synopsis: Space Travel Simplified - Part I was a teacher workshop1 that focused on the history, math, science, and technology of spaceflight. This workshop offered a unique approach to teaching by incorporating "real world" applications into the classroom. Goals and Project Value: How does an orbit work? How did our astronauts get to the Moon? How does a spacecraft safely reenter the atmosphere? How does a spacecraft rendezvous with the International Space Station? What benefits has the world gained from space exploration? In this day and age of modem spaceflight, these are just a few of the fundamental questions that students may ask an instructor regarding space. Can teachers comfortably field these and other questions without dispensing any misconceptions? Space Travel Simplified - Part 1 was a oneday workshop that accurately answered these and many more questions while focusing on the history, math, science, and technology of spaceflight. The course offered a unique approach to teaching and answering the age old question "Why do I have to learn this?" by elegantly incorporating "real world" applications into the classroom. Instructors experienced a unique approach to teaching math, science, and technology standards by tackling real world issues in inspiring classroom experiences. Space Travel Simplified - Part 1 utilized award-winning approaches to advance an educator's knowledge base by employing a fun, hands-on approach to learning. For this inaugural workshop, the Milwaukee area schools (Cooperative Educational Service Agency # 1 district) were the target audience. The workshop was setup to provide 20 instructors with a full day of instruction and over $50 per person in materials and resources to take back to their respective classrooms. A lunch was also provided to all participants. After advertising extensively for this 3-12 workshop, a total of 22 instructors pre-registered for it. 110% enrollment in the workshop! 32% were elementary instructors, 32% were middle level instructors, while 36% were high school instructors. Due to the broad range of teaching levels present for this workshop, the workshop was broken into three basic segment/components - elementary, middle, and high school level topics. The workshop was co-facilitated. The AM sessions were devoted to elementary discussions while the PM session was devoted to high school topics. During these sessions the following topics/activities were covered: perception / paradigm shift; center of gravity; Bernoulli implications; Newton's universal law of gravitation; various orbital shapes (conic sections); circular orbits; geosynchrous orbits; elliptical orbits; spaceflight mathematics; history of human space exploration; and technologies of space exploration. 1 The main financial support for this workshop was provided by the Wisconsin Space Grant Consortium. Additional support was provided by the following sponsors: Spaceflight Fundamentals, LLC; Science Kit & Boreal Labs; and the University School ofMilwaukee. 19
