Space Science in Action - Space Exploration (VIDEO)

SPACE EXPLORATION
There are many ways to explore space. In Space Exploration, students will learn about the human quest to discover what’s out there. Students will see the challenges and benefits of space exploration, including the development of rocket science, a look back at the ‘Space Race’ and a history of manned space travel. A special section on the Saturn V rocket will give students insight into the extraordinary measures taken to put us on the Moon, including a fun, hands-on activity that will let them build their own rocket-complete with fuel! This program is based on the concepts outlined in the National Science Education Standards for Earth Science: Structure of the Earth System, Earth’s History and Earth in the solar system.
