Middle School Science Lessons

NASA has a great interactive website for students to explore how technologies developed for space exploration are used to improve our daily lives back here on Earth. I made a handout to help guide the students through the website and learn more about items that they used or found interesting. Using their handout, they listed and compared how NASA used or developed the technology to how we use the technology.

Objectives: how has space exploration enhanced our life here on Earth?

Lesson Materials:

• NASA – Home and City
• Student Handout – students will research and enter their findings (Google Doc, view only)
• Spinoff – main website hub
