17. Let’s pause for questions from the audience.

18. On the Moon Educator’s Guide: On Target Applications for educators via NASAExplorerSchools

19. Introduce the Challenge NASAExplorerSchools

20. LCROSS Lunar CRater Observing and Sensing Satellite Introduction Video http://lcross.arc.nasa.gov/index.htm NASAExplorerSchools

21. LCROSS Lunar CRater Observing and Sensing Satellite http://lcross.arc.nasa.gov/index.htm NASAExplorerSchools

22. LCROSS Results Released!! There IS evidence of water on the Moon http://lcross.arc.nasa.gov/observation.htm NASAExplorerSchools

23. Challenge Introduction NASA sent a spacecraft crashing into the Moon’s surface to see if there was water below the surface. The plume of gas and dust kicked up will be evaluated to see if there is water or ice. Today you will make a spacecraft that will be crashing down in a similar manner. NASAExplorerSchools

24. Materials Each group will get: Index cards Marble Masking tape Paper clip Scissors You will also have access to: Fishing line Target NASAExplorerSchools

25. Materials NASAExplorerSchools

26. Brainstorm and Design NASAExplorerSchools

27. Brainstorm and Design How will you modify the cup? How will you remotely release the marble from the cup? When do you need to launch the marble so that it will hit the target? NASAExplorerSchools

28. Build, Test, Evaluate, and Design NASAExplorerSchools

29. Sample Zip Line NASAExplorerSchools

30. Things to Think About The cup should travel slowly down the line. The release line needs to be long enough. The marble should stay in the cup during the descent. The marble should eject cleanly. Aim for the target. NASAExplorerSchools

31. WARNING: DO NOT show this slide until AFTER the students have designed their own cups. NASAExplorerSchools

32. Sample Designs NASAExplorerSchools

33. Discuss What Happened NASAExplorerSchools

34. Discussion What parts of your design were most important in getting the marble to hit the target? After testing, what changes did you make? Describe the way your marble moved after you ejected it. How did today’s activity demonstrate Newton’s First Law? How is your challenge similar to NASA’s LCROSS mission to the moon? NASAExplorerSchools

35. Let’s pause for questions from the audience.

36. On the Moon Educator’s Guide: Feel the Heat Applications for educators via NASAExplorerSchools

37. Introduce the Challenge NASAExplorerSchools

38. Challenge Introduction To survive long stays on the moon, astronauts will need to be protected from the moon’s frigid temperatures (-250 degrees in the shade). One way to heat a building is to use the sun. Sunlight heats water – water runs through pipes to heat the building. What’s the best way to heat that water? NASAExplorerSchools

39. Materials Each group will get: Lamp Light bulb Tubing Water supply cup Cup to collect water Cardboard backing You will also have access to: Electric hot water heaters Thermometer NASAExplorerSchools

40. WARNING: Be careful to have students keep all electric devices away from any water source!! NASAExplorerSchools

41. Brainstorm and Design NASAExplorerSchools

42. Brainstorm and Design What color should you make the tube and background? (Remind students about absorption.) How fast should the water flow through the tube? How might the speed affect its temperature? Can changing the orientation of the tube help the water absorb the sun’s heat? NASAExplorerSchools

43. Build, Test, Evaluate, and Design NASAExplorerSchools

44. Building a Water Heater NASAExplorerSchools

45. Things to Think About Students may need help managing water leaks. Remind them to record the temperature of the water in the pitcher just as it flows out of the tube. Remember the tricks to increase temperature change (found in lesson). The tube length may need to be adjusted. The water flow may need to be adjusted. NASAExplorerSchools

46. Discuss What Happened NASAExplorerSchools

47. Discussion What was the best way to heat the water? What factors contributed to maximum water heating? Can we place the words “convection, conduction, and radiation” anywhere in this experiment? If you were to do this again, what would you do differently? How could astronauts on the moon use this type of heating? Could it be used in a space suit? Why or why not? NASAExplorerSchools

48. Let’s pause for questions from the audience.
