Space Shuttle Countdown: Landing to Launch
Brandt Secosh |
Join your hosts Brandt Secosh
and Mike Ciannilli
Live from the Kennedy Space Center
This series will follow the processing of the Shuttle from landing
through Launch, introducing you to the people of NASA who are responsible
for the various jobs involved. Each episode will surround a WebCast
accompanied by a full complement of chats with NASA experts who are
working in the area covered by the preceding episode. Preparation
and lesson materials will be referenced to assist teacher use in the
classroom. Lesson plans will be gathered from a variety of sources,
and we will make every attempt to cover a variety of curricular needs.
These will include primarily fifth grade through university materials,
but there are easy adaptations for younger and older students. We
encourage your creativity and would be delighted to have you share
your ideas with us. Feel free to send your contributions and concerns
to: Linda Conrad.
