| Richard Garriott, the first second generation U.S. astronaut, will fly to the International Space Station in October. During his flight he plans to do educational activities similar to those his father, Owen Garriott, conducted on Skylab in the 1970’s. The activities will explore principles of fluid behavior, mechanics, magnetism, electricity and crystals. Have your students try the same activities and post their predictions of Richard Garriott’s results. | ||||||

| This middle-level activity from the American Physical Society emphasizes the fun and everyday relevance of science. Each PhysicsQuest kit has materials for four physics experiments centered on a mystery. The experiments, designed for small groups in a classroom or after-school setting, offer clues for solving the mystery. In the current version, students learn about inventor Nikola Tesla while experimenting with light, magnetism, and electricity. | ||||||

| This brochure is for educators of students with disabilities presents resources gleaned from the Southeast Regional Clearinghouse workshops, Exceptional Space Science Materials for Exceptional Students. It describes activities and supplements them with case-study examples addressing particular disabilities. Educator-authors share lessons learned from formal education (preK-12), homeschool education, and informal learning venues. | ||||||
