Math Concepts
1. Recipe for the Future The modern airplane must be made of stronger and lighter materials to safely carry more people and to be fuel efficient. This program features a NASA scientist who uses a knowledge of the physical properties of materials, compounds, and mixtures and a variety of measuring techniques to develop new ,,composite,, materials for airplanes. Students will learn how data from laboratory experiments are recorded, displayed (visualized), and interpreted. The lesson and classroom experiment will involve students in the observation and description of physical changes, 2. PSA, The Astronaut's Helper NASA engineers use geometry and algebra to develop and test the Personal Satellite Assistant (PSA), an autonomous robot to support future space missions. 3. Festival of Flight Special: Opening Space for Next Generation Explorers NASA's Space Launch Initiative (SLI) Program will ultimately move the nation from the explorations of the Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, and Space Shuttle missions to a new period of pioneering when people and businesses are more routinely traveling, working, and living in space. 4. Geometry and Algebra: The Future Flight Equation NASA engineers and researchers use geometry and algebra to design, develop, and test tomorrow's aircraft. 5. Pattern, Functions, and Algebra: Wired for Space NASA researchers develop new ways to propel a spacecraft already in orbit without the aid of fuel. Next 2 records
