FREE 1-hour Webinar Educators Grades K-12!!!

Join us for the second of four webinars to honor the memory of Christa McAuliffe, the first teacher to be chosen to travel to space. Due to the tragic space shuttle Challenger disaster in 1986, McAuliffe did not film the science lessons in space as planned. Astronauts Joe Acaba and Ricky Arnold, both former educators, spent the 2017-18 school year aboard the International Space Station for A Year of Education on Station.

As a tribute to McAuliffe and her legacy, Acaba and Arnold completed Christa’s lost lessons. The demonstrations were filmed aboard the station, and corresponding lessons were developed for classrooms. For this webinar participants, will learn about hands-on standards aligned activities about chromatography and capillary action. Explore how capillary action occurs in microgravity on board the International Space Station.  Investigate how black ink divides into different colors through chromatography.  Compare and contrast capillary action as seen on the Internationals Space Station and in your classroom on Earth.  Also learn about leaf chromatography and walking rainbows.
