Meteorite Mysteries

Meteorite Mysteries, The Search for Space RocksIf you're looking for a way to capture your students' attention while teaching them science and technology concepts in the context of real research, then this is the project you've been searching for! Prior to the live event students gain insights and knowledge through selected activities that are related to the real-life task of collecting and analyzing meteorites. During the video conference your students will have the opportunity to talk directly to NASA researchers and gain a better understanding of the importance and impact of meteorites as clues to the building blocks of planets and life in out solar system!

A NASA Scientist will connect live, via satellite phone, with NASA's Digital Learning Network (DLN) team of experts while searching for pieces of space in the blue and white world of Antarctica! Selected schools from across the country will have the opportunity to participate in a highly interactive video conference experience with NASA scientists at Johnson Space Center, NASA scientist Mary Sue Bell and other researchers in Antarctica as they search for meteorites, learn to work as a team in extreme environments, and help to answer questions about life on other planets!

This extreme environment mission is scheduled to take place on December 17, 10:30-11:30 AM (Central).

Get ready for a unique LIVE interactive distance learning event with NASA's DLN as we explore the topic of meteorites, their impact on our solar system, and living in an extreme environment!

There is a lot to discover...as only NASA can!

During this series of programs entitled Project MO Bridge: Connecting Students to Their Future, your students will be able to learn what it takes to build a new bridge—from dream to design to construction to operation. Students will interact with experts in a wide variety of fields and learn how specific aspects of their science, social studies, and mathematics curriculum come to life in the construction of a new bridge. You can choose to enroll for any number of programs within the series.

Education: Grade(s): 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12

Join us live on Monday, December 8 from Rolla, and Macon Missouri. Be part of the action as explosives expert Dr. Paul Worsey (Professor of Mining Engineering, Missouri S&T) and engineers Dennis Brucks and Brian Haeffner from Missouri Department of Transportation walk us through the process of bringing down the Glasgow Bridge. This program is the first of an ongoing series of programs that will occur throughout the 2008-2009 school year. During this series of programs entitled Project MO-Bridge: Connecting Students to Their Future your students will be able to learn what it takes to build a new bridge—from dream to design to construction to operation. Students will interact with experts in a wide variety of fields and learn how specific aspects of their science, social studies, and mathematics curriculum come to life in the construction of a new bridge. But before that new bridge can be built, the old bridge needed to be removed to make way for construction of a new span connecting route 240 across the Missouri River. Have your students interact with the engineers Dennis Brucks and Brian Haeffner who will give us technical aspects of the destruction and rebuilding of the bridge. Ask your questions about what it takes to safely destroy one bridge so you can begin to build another. See video excerpts of the bridge coming down, and explosives demonstrations by Dr. Paul Worsey.

Students will also have the opportunity to share examples of fiber and textile pieces they have created and share the experience of their artistic process with Cathy. We’ll explore the big questions: Where do ideas for art come from? How is inspiration transformed into a piece of art? How are fibers used to create works of art? What techniques are available for the fibers and textile artist? Ask your additional questions as you watch Cathy at work. Cost for the program is FREE.
