FAS Space Guide Europe ... Join FAS LIFE SCIENCES ESA has sponsored a variety of life sciences activities since its first such mission in 1985. These endeavors have been both in concert with other agencies, namely USSR/Russia and NASA, and as strictly European initiatives. Those missions entirely administered by ESA often have one member country or more as the principal participant or lead state. In some cases, the distinction between international and national programs may be somewhat blurred. For example, the first major ESA life sciences experiments were the Biorack, Anthrorack, and Vestibular Sled flown on Spacelab D1, which was primarily funded by Germany. Of the three European astronauts who flew on that mission, two were German and one was Dutch. While Germany is a strong participant in ESA, its two astronauts were official representatives of DARA on Spacelab D1. The Dutch astronaut was a representative for ESA (Section 5.1.3). ESA plans to continue its life science experiments on Russian (Mir, Photon, and Bion) and American (STS) spacecraft while preparing for its role in the International Space Station program with emphasis on its own Columbus Orbital Facility. ESA's Microgravity Advisory Committee in 1994 defined 15 high priority research areas in life sciences for future investigations.

15. National Science Education Standards life science. CONTENT STANDARD C As a result of activities in grades K4, all students should develop Earth and space science. CONTENT STANDARD D http://www.nap.edu/readingroom/books/nses/html/6c.html

Content Standards: K-4 Science as Inquiry CONTENT STANDARD A: As a result of activities in grades K-4, all students should develop Abilities necessary to do scientific inquiry Understanding about scientific inquiry DEVELOPING STUDENT ABILITIES AND UNDERSTANDING From the earliest grades, students should experience science in a form that engages them in the active construction of ideas and explanations that enhance their opportunities to develop the abilities of doing science. Teaching science as inquiry provides teachers with the opportunity to develop student abilities and to enrich student understanding of science. Students should do science in ways that are within their developmental capabilities. This standard sets forth some abilities of scientific inquiry appropriate for students in grades K-4. In the early years of school, students can investigate earth materials, organisms, and properties of common objects. Although children develop concepts and vocabulary from such experiences, they also should develop inquiry skills. As students focus on the processes of doing investigations, they develop the ability to ask scientific questions, investigate aspects of the world around them, and use their observations to construct reasonable explanations for the questions posed. Guided by teachers, students continually develop their science knowledge. Students should also learn through the inquiry process how to communicate about their own and their peers' investigations and explanations.

17. Grade Eight Science - The Earth And Space Many of the suggested activities in this unit are science challenge activities. Recognize the conditions which govern life in space. http://www.sasked.gov.sk.ca/docs/midlsci/gr8uemsc.html

Science 8 Core Unit: The Earth and Space Unit overview Space exploration has an appeal which is hard to resist. The desire for knowledge of what is beyond the bounds of the Earth's atmosphere is strong. Radio-astronomy, the SETI project, the Apollo, Soyuz, Skylab and shuttle missions, the Venera, Pioneer, Voyager, and Mariner probes all have given people a glimpse of the extraterrestrial. Questions of the structure of space, the characteristics of stellar and planetary objects, and how humans inquire into these phenomena form the basis of this unit. This unit is related to the core grade 6 unit Exploring Space . Some of the objectives follow from the objectives of that unit. The outline of the grade 6 unit should be read and the students' concepts assessed according to the objectives of that unit. Science writing and reading activities, as discussed in this Guide, should be incorporated into each lesson. Writing helps students make sense of what they are seeing and reading, and helps them adjust the way they look at the world. Students come into science classes with an understanding of how things work. Often their understandings are not the same as the way scientists understand events or ldo not correspond to what they themselves observe. Reflective writing can help them reevaluate their ideas and schemata. Reading newspapers and journals is an important source of ideas, and reporting on the activities of science class by writing advertisements, reports, and stories are strategies through which students may refine their understanding of the concepts of science and develop their ability to communicate through the written word.

ASGSB 1998 Annual Meeting Abstracts Students in the six-week program were involved in science and engineering activities pertaining to gravitational and space biology research of plants. The focus of this group is to understand the individual components of spaceflight affecting plant growth and development, towards the eventual goal of food production for human sustenance in space or other planetary environments. The particular research efforts of the 1998 SLSTP students included: Testing of light emitting diodes (LEDs ) as a light source for both terrestrial and aquatic plants; testing of nutrient solutions and different nutrient delivery systems for plant growth in both gravity and microgravity environments; use of hypo- and hyper-gravity to study plant growth and physiological responses to altered gravity environments; molecular and cellular investigations of plants grown under super-elevated atmospheric concentrations of CO Back to Meeting Program
