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!
