Where:
Columbia Memorial Space Center, Downey, CaliforniaTarget Audience:
Teachers for grades 3-8Overview:
What could be more fun than toys to practice physical science vocabulary, and engage in small-group discussions and presentations. The educational video "International Toys in Space" was taped during the flight of STS-54. The video shows astronauts on the space shuttle and students back on Earth co-investigating the behavior of toys in space. Video program segments show the toys' behavior in 1 g (Earth's gravity) and then their behavior in the microgravity environment of space.
Participants are invited to participate in a simulated space mission in the Challenger Learning Center after the workshop from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.
