This is the schedule of videoconferences scheduled for 3rd graders at Chisholm Elementary School in Edmond, Oklahoma, the last week of May 2007. The technical point of contact for these connections is Wesley Fryer. Wesley is coordinating connection details with Edmond Schools and Two Trees, the district's firewall service provider. The scheduling request to NASA includes a request to web archive the connection, so parent permission forms prior to each connection will be required. Indicated teachers for each videoconference are subject to change.

Target Audience:
Students
Grade Level:
3,4,5,6
Event Focus :
How do you land a spacecraft on Mars?
Description:
Imagine a volcano that is three times higher than Mount Everest and covers an area the size of Arizona. During this event, students will learn about the planet Mars and its unusual features. By talking with NASA Engineers and building their own models, students will experience how the Mars Exploration Rovers landed on the surface of the Red Planet. What are the next steps in the exploration of Mars? Participate in this event to find out.
Instructional Objectives:
This videoconference will reflect NASA Langley Research Center's role in the entry, descent, and landing procedures for the Mars Exploration Rovers. In the event, students will recognize at least four characteristics of Mars by completing either a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal row on a game board. During the videoconference, participant learning will be measured by having the students create and describe a model of a lander to simulate the entry and landing process. |

Educators: K-12
Grade Level:
2,3,4
Event Focus :
What are the distinguishing characteristics of the planets in our solar system, the distances between them and the paths they travel?
Description:
During this event, students will exchange information about our nine distinctive planets orbiting one massive star, our sun. They will learn about current NASA missions and how we use the information gathered to further our exploration of space. We hope that you will join us for a journey of discovery about our unique solar system. Join us and let the discovery begin!
Instructional Objectives:
Upon completion of this learning module, student will be able to: discuss, the scale and size of each planet and its distance from the sun. identify the inner and outer planets of the solar system. list physical characteristics of the planets

Pre-Conference Activities: |
How big is Mars? How far is it relative to Earth? The activity Earth, Moon, Mars Balloons will give students the opportunity to construct a scale model of Mars and discover how far one might travel to visit the most Earth-like planet in our Solar System. Earth, Moon, Mars Balloons can be found in the Mars Activity Guide at
http://mars4.jpl.nasa.gov/classroom/pdfs/MSIP-MarsActivities.pdf
|
Videoconference Activities: |
In this videoconference, students will learn about characteristics of the Red Planet by playing Mars Bingo. Next, they will learn about how the rovers entered the Martian atmosphere and landed on the planet's surface. At the end the videoconference, students will build and drop their landers. Come and explore the Red Planet with NASA.

Post-Conference Activities: |
Many students think that robotic vehicles can be driven much like they drive their toy radio-controlled cars. They imagine a rover driver watching a computer screen showing the rover on Mars and moving a joystick to make it go. This reality is not so! The activity Rover Races found in the Mars Activity Guide will help dispel this common misconception. In Rover Races, a student rover driver designs and executes a series of commands that will guide a human rover through a simulated Martian surface. This activity allows students to experience some of the challenges of teleoperating a robotic vehicle on another planet. Rover Races can be found at http://mars4.jpl.nasa.gov/classroom/pdfs/MSIP-MarsActivities.pdf | |

Audience:
Students,Educators: K-12,Informal Educators
Grade Level:
K-4,5-8,9-12
Focus Question:
Imagine you are strapped into the Space Shuttle and the countdown clock is ticking 10, 9, 8, 7. When the clock hits zero at liftoff 7.5 million pounds of thrust are going to propel the shuttle somewhere. What if the vehicle wasn't properly prepared?
Description:
John F. Kennedy Space Center has launched ALL U.S. Human Spaceflight Missions. Preparing a vehicle to liftoff into space requires a special location, massive facilities, unique equipment and tools, and a world-class workforce. Participants discover just what it takes to prepare a vehicle for space through hands-on activities and interpret age-appropriate mathematical calculations. There are several web links in the paragraphs that follow. For a comprehensive guide to "America's Spaceport" please click on: "America's Spaceport" |
