While many microbes on Earth are harmless, and can even be helpful to humans, some microbes can be unsafe. Microbes belong to a group all by themselves because they are neither plants nor animals. Because they can multiply extremely quickly, it is normal to find millions of them in the same location. Some microbes or “germs”, such as bacteria and mold, can grow on food, dirty clothes, and garbage that people produce. Microbes live on your skin, in your Astronaut Chris Hadfield taking microbe samples on the ISS. mouth, nose, hair, and inside your body. Microbes can also be found aboard the International Space Station (ISS). NASA scientists have reported that some germs on the ISS have different characteristics when grown in space compared to when they grow on Earth. The safety of the crew is of utmost importance. Therefore, cleanliness and proper disposal of garbage is an important part of living on the ISS. Scientists who study microbes are called microbiologists and microbiology is the study of microorganisms or microbes. The root word “micro” comes from Greek and means “small”. These microbes are so small that powerful microscopes are needed to be able to see them.

  • Mars Exploration Camp Is to Excite Young Minds and Inspire Student Trainees Toward Future Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) Pursuits
    National Aeronautics and Space Administration Summer of Innovation Mars Exploration 4th – 9th grade www.nasa.gov Introduction The goal of the NASA Summer of Innovation Mars Exploration camp is to excite young minds and inspire student trainees toward future science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) pursuits. Raising trainee achievement in STEM pursuits begins by leading trainees on a journey of understanding through these highly engaging activities. The activities and experiences in this guide come from across NASAʼs vast collection of educational materials. This themed camp outline provides examples of one-day, two-day, and weeklong science and engineering programs. Each day contains 6-8 hours of activities totaling more than 35 hours of instructional time. The camp template will assist you in developing an appropriate learning progression focusing on the concepts necessary to engage in learning about Mars. The Mars Exploration camp provides an interactive set of learning experiences that center on the past, present, and future exploration of Mars. The activities scaffold to include cooperative learning, problem solving, critical thinking, and hands-on experiences. As each activity progresses, the conceptual challenges increase, offering trainees full immersion in the topics. Intended Learning Experiences Through the participation in these camps future scientists and engineers will have the opportunity to explore Mars. Student trainees gain learning experiences that help make scientific careers something they can envision

    SPECULATION ON ARCHITECTURE IN THE ABSENCE OF GRAVITY Speculation on Architecture in the absence of Gravity. How might architectural elements and design strategies function in outer space? Hermann Matamu 132 8392 Master Thesis explanatory document: Jeanette Budgett Abstract The evolution of architecture has been driven by a combination of elements such as style, context, materiality, aesthetic and technology. The development of materials and the technological advancements of the human race are conveyed through architecture; from the technical expertise of the ancient Egyptians in pyramid construction, to the engineering feats of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, to the physical realisation of Gehry’s Guggenheim through computer modelling. Architecture is a continuous evolution which revolves around the progression of the human race in all fields of life. Space habitation presents the next step in this architectural evolution, in which Space tourism acts as the stepping stone for the transition of architectural design beyond Earth. Space design has been produced largely without architectural input. The aim of this project is to introduce an architectural sensibility, and to investigate the impact an absence of gravitational force has on architecture. The research follows the transition of architectural design from an environment of gravity to one without, by reviewing both current literature and precedent case studies. i Acknowledgements As this chapter in my life comes to an end, I would like to thank all those who made it a memorable one. Firstly, I would like to thank my supervisor, Jeanette Budgett. Thank you for your patience, support and constant encouragement throughout my research, your knowledge and time have been instrumental in the development of this project.

    National Aeronautics and Space Administration Destination Station exhibit resources www.nasa.gov National Aeronautics and Space Administration welcome to destination station The International Space Station is a high-flying, international research laboratory that supports a wide range of scientific inquiry in biology, human physiology, physical, material, Earth and space sciences. During the last 11 years, fifteen countries worked together to complete assembly on the largest engineering feat ever achieved. The orbiting laboratory provides the interior volume of a five- bedroom house, equipped with premier research capabilities, living quarters and a 360 degree window on the world. From end to end, the space station is longer than an American football field and accommodates up to six astronauts at a time. Knowledge gained through space research conducted aboard the space station has led to improvements in life on Earth and prepares us for future exploration. This guide is designed to help you, as educators, bring YOUR Space Station to the classrooms.
