November 19 and 20, 2002- Forces and Motion

Workshop will focus on the center of mass of an object which is the key to understanding how objects respond to various forces. This concept will be related to moving furniture, spinning tops and how airplanes fly. Celebrate the Centennial Flight in your classroom by connecting flight to the concepts of forces and motion.

November 19 is for educators of grades 5-8
November 20 is for educators of grades K-4

Deadline for registration is November 6,2002

December 10- SPACE RESEARCH and YOU

Fire balls, sleeping astronauts, kidney stones, and spongelike rocks are all part of the mix of experiments and research that will occupy the crew of the STS-107 mission in July. The flight will serve as a bridge from research conducted aboard the Space Shuttle
in the 1980s and '90s and the long-term work planned for the International Space Station when it is completed.

Microgravity - the condition in orbit where it appears that gravity is turned off - has become a powerful tool for studying the inner workings of flames, human cells, sand, and many other natural phenomena. On Earth these studies run into limitations imposed by
gravity's effects. So, we turn to space as a place to overcome those limits and push science and technology on many fronts.

Join us to learn about the research that will be conducted on board STS 107's flight in January and how to connect this current research to your classroom. Workshop will feature Biological and Physical Research for grades 7 through 12.

Deadline for registration is November 26,2002
