Project VIEW has collaborated with
Ball State University,
Space Center Houston
and
Johnson Space Center
to develop and
broadcast a live electronic field trip which aired
Tuesday October 23rd live from Johnson Space Center in
Houston, Texas.
The 90-minute
broadcast featured interactive lessons with
scientists, engineers, astronauts, and other personnel
from Johnson Space Center and Space Center Houston.
The project
explores a number of lessons including the evolution of space,
ISS Assembly, Astronaut Training, Life in Space and the Life
of an Astronaut,
Space Facts, Gravity and Weightlessness, Neutral Buoyancy and
the Future of Space. The broadcast was shot live from
Space Center Houston and the ISS Module at Johnson Space
Center. In addition to exploring the ISS module and
talking with NASA experts, the broadcast featured live
interactive feeds from the
Neutral Buoyancy Lab

Astronauts and scientists answered their questions live.
The broadcast also featured
a number of
hands-on classroom experiments and lessons.
A Project VIEW team of teachers has collaborated with
NASA experts and together they have developed
inter-disciplinary curriculum, activities and suggested
materials which support and enhance the project.
(The materials found here continue to support use of the
taped version. While
the tape is not live, you can
e-mail or call members of the project team or Project VIEW
with questions about the project.)
Since 1998,
sixteen world nations have collaborated to construct,
operate and utilize the International Space Station.
Through space-based research, scientists hope to advance basic
science dealing with fundamental physics, gravitational
biology and ecology, Earth and space science. |
