The NASA Educator Professional Development Collaborative at
Texas State University is providing a 1-hour webinar.

Participants will learn about hands-on standards aligned activities using mass and weight. Celebrate the 20th anniversary of humans on the International Space Station while learning about micro-gravity.  

Students often confuse the terms "mass" and "weight." Each activity in this series demonstrates the difference between mass and weight by comparing students' results with the results of astronauts aboard the space station. Students perform the activities and analyze their data. Then they watch video of astronauts performing similar demonstrations on the station.

The activities focus on Newton's second law of motion.  These activities will demonstrate the difference between mass and weight, Investigate careers in space exploration, and learn about the international partnerships involved in the space station.

This webinar addresses the Next Generation Science Standards ESS1 and ESS2 and Common Core Math Standards.
