Malcolm and Stanley want to be astronauts. While waiting for that big call from NASA, they hone their space knowledge and skills by reviewing important concepts. Join them in their space suits, and learn about the Earth and space. This exciting video series goes beyond the basics of Space Science for Children. It covers topics in more depth including black holes, light years, historical milestones in space exploration and much more! Fascinating NASA footage and hands-on investigations (ideal for science fair project ideas) will make learning about space a real adventure.
ASTRONOMY
What can you see in the night sky? Stars, planets, even a galaxy or two! It’s all covered in Astronomy. Students will learn about constellations, star movement and how scientists have studied celestial bodies throughout history-from Ptolemy and Copernicus to the work of the Hubble Space Telescope. Includes an interview with Kathy Thornton, one of the astronauts who repaired the Hubble while in orbit! Also includes a fun, hands-on activity where students will build their own sextant, demonstrating how ancient seafarers navigated using the movement of the stars. This program is based on the concepts outlined in the National Science Education Standards for Earth Science: Structure of the Earth System, Earth’s History and Earth in the solar system.
EARTH
The universe is incredible-but the Earth is unique! In this fun and informative program, students will learn that, despite the vastness of outer space, Earth is the only place where we know life exists. Earth explains why our planet is so special. Students will learn about the factors that allow life to flourish on Earth, including our position in the solar system, the water cycle and the composition of the planet. This program includes a visit to the real Biosphere2 in Arizona, as well as a fun, hands-on activity that will give students a basic understanding of the Earth’s water cycle. This program is based on the concepts outlined in the National Science Education Standards for Earth Science: Structure of the Earth System, Earth’s History and Earth in the solar system.
EARTH’S ATMOSPHERE
It protects us from meteoroids and ultraviolet rays, and provides us with the air we breathe. In Earth’s Atmosphere, students will learn about the layers of our atmosphere and why each is important to the survival of life on our planet. They’ll also discover why the atmosphere is responsible for weather and see how special aircraft actually fly into the severest weather of all-hurricanes! Atmospheric pressure is covered and students will even build their own working barometer in a fun, hands-on activity. This program is based on the concepts outlined in the National Science Education Standards for Earth Science: Structure of the Earth System, Earth’s History and Earth in the solar system.
MOON
The Moon is Earth’s closest neighbor in space - the only other member of our solar system that humans have actually visited. This video answers key questions about the Moon, like: What keeps it revolving around the Earth? Why do we see only one side of the Moon? What is the origin of the Moon? Students will learn about how the Moon has been studied throughout history-including recent lunar missions-and about its phases, eclipses and how it causes tides on Earth. A fun, hands-on activity will demonstrate the effect of the Moon’s gravity on weight. This program is based on the concepts outlined in the National Science Education Standards for Earth Science: Structure of the Earth System, Earth’s History and Earth in the solar system.
PLANETS & THE SOLAR SYSTEM
The Earth is one of nine planets that revolve around the Sun, which is the center of our solar system. In Planets & The Solar System, students will learn the key characteristics of each planet, the difference between inner and outer planets and which planets have their own moons. They’ll take a fascinating look at how remote-control rovers are designed to explore other surfaces in the solar system. Also, in a fun, hands-on activity, students will demonstrate how gravity keeps all the members of the solar system in orbit around the Sun. This program is based on the concepts outlined in the National Science Education Standards for Earth Science: Structure of the Earth System, Earth’s History and Earth in the solar system.
SPACE EXPLORATION
There are many ways to explore space. In Space Exploration, students will learn about the human quest to discover what’s out there. Students will see the challenges and benefits of space exploration, including the development of rocket science, a look back at the ‘Space Race’ and a history of manned space travel. A special section on the Saturn V rocket will give students insight into the extraordinary measures taken to put us on the Moon, including a fun, hands-on activity that will let them build their own rocket-complete with fuel! This program is based on the concepts outlined in the National Science Education Standards for Earth Science: Structure of the Earth System, Earth’s History and Earth in the solar system.
STARS
It seems impossible that we can really study stars. They all seem so small and so far away-except for one. the Sun! Stars will show students the many amazing ways scientists look at the stars and how they can use what they see to answer questions like: What are stars made of? How far away are they? How old are stars? Students will learn about the life span of stars and the various stages they pass through, from protostar to main sequence star to red giant and eventually white and black dwarfs. A fun, hands-on activity will show viewers how to build their own spectroscope, used to analyze starlight! This program is based on the concepts outlined in the National Science Education Standards for Earth Science: Structure of the Earth System, Earth’s History and Earth in the solar system.
SUN
The Sun is the closest star to Earth. It provides heat and light which makes life on Earth possible. Sun shows students what this center of our solar system is all about - how big it is, what it’s made of, how old it is and how long we believe it will continue to burn. Students will examine the individual layers of the Sun and learn about solar activity, including sunspots, solar flares and prominences. They’ll also find out how scientists have studied the Sun and even make their own pinhole viewer to measure the distance to the Sun in a fun, hands-on activity. This program is based on the concepts outlined in the National Science Education Standards for Earth Science: Structure of the Earth System, Earth’s History and Earth in the solar system. 23 minutes.
UNIVERSE
The universe is limitless! It contains stars, solar systems, galaxies, black holes and much more. Universe looks at these wonders-all incredible, all unique and all just a small part of a larger entity. Students will explore some big questions about the universe, including: How was it formed? How big is it? How can we explore the far reaches of the universe? They’ll learn about light years and the electromagnetic spectrum and take a close-up look at a gamma ray telescope. A fun, hands-on activity will demonstrate why it seems so dark in space, even though there are billions of stars! This program is based on the concepts outlined in the National Science Education Standards for Earth Science: Structure of the Earth System, Earth’s History and Earth in the solar system.
