Measurement, Ratios, and Graphing:
Who Added the "Micro" to Gravity?

Students will be introduced to combustion science and the importance of fire safety on the International Space Station. Students will also learn how chemistry plays an important role in microgravity research. They will observe NASA engineers and scientists using measurement, ratios, and graphing to analyze data. Students will also conduct a hands-on activity and a Web activity, which reinforce the program's instructional objectives and establish a connection between the NASA research featured in the program and the mathematics, science, and technology used in the classroom.
