When appropriate, the guide provides images, charts, and graphics for the activities. Each activity correlates to national science, mathematics, technology, and engineering standards. Matrix charts relating activities to national standards are included because many lessons are interdisciplinary.

  • Build It with Spacewalks Poster
    Build It With Spacewalks Small, water-filled, plastic tubes laced through the liquid cooling and vent garment keep the astronaut cool inside a spacesuit. When pressurized, spacesuits become stiff. Suit gloves need many joints to permit finger dexterity. A small wrist mirror permits reading control settings on the front of the suit. With the outer suit fabric removed, bearings for mobility are visible in the shoulders, wrist, and waist. The astronaut enters the suit by pulling on the lower torso (pants), slipping into the upper torso, and snapping the waist bearing rings together. The lower torso has boots attached.Red stripes on some suits help mission controllers identify which astronaut they are looking at in their television screens. With oceans and continents sliding by hundreds of kilometers below, space-suited astronauts help construct the International Space Station. The eyes and hands of astronauts are needed in the many intricate tasks that have to be performed. Keeping astronauts alive in the hostile space environment and able to perform hands-on Fully suited, the astronaut is ready for work is the job of a spacesuit. a space walk. Refer to the other side of the poster for more suit details. Build it with Spacewalks 2005 AD Just after sunset, an exceptionally bright star-like object glitters in the southwestern sky. Unlike its stellar background, the object moves quickly and sets in the northeast a few minutes after it first appeared. It is a scene that is repeated over many parts of Earth 16 times each day. The object is the International Space Station, a huge orbital space platform constructed by the United States, Russia, Canada, Japan, Brazil, and 11 European nations.

  • Jerry Woodfill (May 8, 2019)
    ANGLeS Challenge "Meet a NASA Engineer" #1 — Jerry Woodfill (May 8, 2019) ANNOUNCER: This meeting is being recorded. ROBERT: OK. OK, so everybody, if you could please mute your mics. I see several people. I'm glad to see so many people on board. But we do need everyone mute except for Jerry so that we can hear from him. We greatly appreciate Jerry being available for it. He was an Apollo engineer and worked on key aspects of it. And so he's going to tell us a little bit about what it is to be like as a system engineer. You guys are working on your own projects, it's great. And you know that things break, you fail sometimes. And so here is an opportunity for you to understand what it is to be like engineers when you actually have humans that you're responsible for. So Jerry, can you take it over please? JERRY: Yeah, good afternoon to everyone. I'm actually at Johnson Space Center. It had been called the Manned Spacecraft Center. I came into work here 54 years ago. So I'm in my 54 year here. And when I came out of college, I went to Rice University on a basketball scholarship. And as a result of taking electrical engineering at Rice University, NASA hired me. And my first position at NASA was to be with the Apollo program. That is, this was in 1965, and at that time, the Gemini program. That was a program where we had two astronauts that would orbit Earth and practice the kinds of things that would be used to go to the moon.

  • Nothing Routine!
    Nothing Routine (About the Scope of Advent’s Mission) Consequently, when Christ came into the world, he said . (Hebrews 10:5) A sermon by Siegfried S. Johnson on the First Sunday of Advent, December 3, 2017 (Volume 1 Number 20) Christ of the Hills UMC, 700 Balearic Drive, Hot Springs Village, Arkansas 71909 Forty-five Advent’s ago, December 14, 1972, the crew of the Apollo 17 Lunar Landing Module, Commander Eugene Cernan and geologist Harrison Schmitt, lifted off the lunar surface to initiate their return to earth. These were the last astronauts to add footprints to the dusty lunar surface. We haven’t been back. It had only been three years earlier, that memorable summer of 1969, that Neil Armstrong spoke the words, “The Eagle has landed,” as Apollo 11’s landing module touched down on the moon’s surface. We frequented the moon between 1969 and 1972, but no American under forty-five years old has been alive for the ADVENT-ure of a manned flight to the moon. Space adventures don’t garner the saturated news coverage they once did. I suspect, for example, most here are unaware of this coming Friday’s launch from Cape Canaveral on a cargo mission to rendezvous with the International Space Station. I doubt, also, that any here are anxiously waiting our next manned space adventure launching two weeks from today, December 17. Called Expedition 54, this mission will carry a new crew to the ISS -- an American, a Russian, and a Japanese astronaut. Did you know about these imminent launches? No? I didn’t know, either.

(i.e. sequencing, sourcing) TapeTape –– AssociativeAssociative EvidenceEvidence Involves the comparison of samples to determine if they could share a common origin The goal is to determine if any significant differences exist TapeTape -- DefinitiveDefinitive AssociationAssociation An end match provides a definitive association to an individual source A physical end match is the most compelling type of association between two tapes and should always be evaluated. Sequencing • End matching pieces of tape can tell the sequence of events in the use of that particular roll (e.g. legs taped first, then arms) • If tape is cut – the multiple pieces of duct tape can still be attempted to be sequenced Sourcing • An attempt to identify possible product information, manufacturing, and retailing sources can provide investigative lead information.

The Pressure Sensitive Tape Council (PSTC) denes Pressure Sensitive Tape as a continuous exible strip of cloth, paper, metal or plastic coated on one or both sides with a permanently tacky adhesive at room temperature which will adhere to a variety of surfaces with light pressure (nger pressure) with no phase change (liquid to solid) and usually on a roll. The key point that dierentiates a pressure sensitive tape from other types of adhesives is that no activation by water, solvent, or heat is necessary to exert a strong adhesive force towards diverse materials such as paper, glass, wood, plastic, or metal. PRESSURE SENSITIVE ADHESIVES POLYMER VISCOELASTICITY polymeric materials in an elastomeric a large molecule consisting of many refers to the state of having the state of matter that have signicant (poly) atoms linked in a repeating, characteristics of both a liquid and a time and temperature dependencies chainlike fashion (macromolecule). solid.
