Launched in the summer of 1977, Voyager was the audacious first mission that would visit all the outermost planets. This documentary tells the story of the mission through firsthand accounts of those who made the mission possible. They are a small band of resourceful, ambitious, and passionate men and women who reached for the stars and succeeded. Please note this title contains potentially offensive language and contains mature themes.
Gabriela, Manuel and Leonardo are three friends who accidentally start a rocket that takes them to space. Their journey through space takes them to different planets and strange worlds. Throughout their journey, they have the help of Maqui, an on-board computer. Maqui helps them learn about the universe. The friends land on a planet hoping to find a way back home. They try of convince one of its inhabitants to fly them home in his spaceship. But he tells them his craft is too old and cannot take them back to Earth. Maqui studies all their options and explains to them the necessary characteristics that a spaceship must have to safely travel in space.
Examines the similarities and differences between Mars and Earth. Comments on the size, color, atmosphere, and temperature of Mars. Includes footage from recent missions to Mars and speculates on possible manned space flights to the Red Planet.
Introduces students to our planet Earth and its place in the solar system. Explains that Earth's unique position makes it conducive to life. Also explains the basics of earth science, including the water cycle, weather, and continents. Short review.
The moon makes a special appearance in this segment. Hannah’s musical friends provide facts about the moon as they “moon dance” through the solar system. Part of the "Space School Musical" series.
What are stars, and where do they come from? Briefly discusses the life cycle of a star, their colors, and super nova. Includes the Hubble Space Telescope, how stars were used in history, and constellations. Offers a short review.
For many years the Hubble Space Telescope has collected breathtaking images of the cosmos with remarkable clarity. Now, ground based telescopes are fighting back. They are combining the precision of several instruments and correcting for atmospheric shimmer. This program presents and explains the designs, uses, and outputs of different types of telescopes.
This demonstration uses a water balloon to show how Earth's oceans are absorbing most of the heat in the atmosphere. The trapped heat in the ocean is warming the planet. Part of the “DIY Space Classroom Activities” series.
How can cake ingredients be whipped into a moon-like crater? A scientist from NASA demonstrates how to construct craters out of household items. Part of the “DIY Space Classroom Activities” series.
A scientist from NASA explains the basic characteristics of a comet. Students will make their own comet by using a wide range of craft materials. Part of the “DIY Space Classroom Activities” series.
Galileo, Newton, and Einstein make appearances in this segment. Through lyrics, they explain the contributions they made to astronomy. Part of the "Space School Musical" series.
In this segment, Hannah receives a visit from a meteor. Through song, she learns when a flash of light is really a meteor. Part of the "Space School Musical" series.
The Magic School Bus is an award winning animated children’s television series based on the book series of the same title by Joanna Cole and Bruce Degen. It is notable for its use of celebrity talent and being both highly entertaining and educational. Arnold's cousin Janet is visiting Ms. Frizzle's class to find out if they really go on unusual field trips. She doesn't believe Arnold until Ms. Frizzle decides to take the class to space. Miss Frizzle transforms the bus into a spaceship, and the class explores the Asteroid Belt.
A scientist from NASA explains how to build a rocket powered by rubber bands. Part of the activity includes launching the rocket from various angles to study trajectory. The activity provides students with an excellent hands-on perspective of key mathematical concepts. Part of the “DIY Space Classroom Activities” series.
A scientist from NASA explains how to build an icy model of a comet, complete with shooting jets. This activity provides an opportunity for students to make observations, discuss changing states of matter, and demonstrate measuring skills. Part of the “DIY Space Classroom Activities” series.
Earth's moon was probably formed when a body the size of Mars collided twice with the planet. The moon is steadily receding into space; eventually, due to the loss of this lunar regulator, Earth will start to wobble, creating climatic chaos. Eclipses can be also seen often when the sun obscures the moon or vice versa. Another light show, the Aurora, occurs when electrified particles from the solar wind interact with Earth's upper atmosphere and is visible particularly in the Polar Regions.
Ancient civilizations such as the Babylonians, the Chinese and the Greeks studied the stars without the benefit of telescopes and yet identified patterns of stars that are still used today. These early scientists collected the first data in the science of astronomy. This program provides students with a summary of the history of astronomy and highlights many important astronomers.
Why do sports fans feel so emotionally invested in the game, reacting almost as if they were part of the game? According to new research, people constantly imitate whatever they are observing. This video segment, adapted from "NOVA ScienceNow," discusses the latest research on a system of neurons that plays a part in how people relate to each other. These neurons, known as mirror neurons, prime individuals to imitate what they see.
A Scientist from NASA explains how to easily build an inexpensive planetarium to introduce students to star patterns. The activity also allows students to create their own constellations. Part of the “DIY Space Classroom Activities” series.
