From the LIFE of FL Yahoo Group:
International Space Station Project
It is with great pleasure that we welcome you to the ISS07 Project!
This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for grades 3-12 teachers and
students to collaborate with astronauts, scientists and engineers,
and other classes from around the globe.
Communicate through the project blogs with Expedition 15/16 Flight
Engineer Clayton Anderson, (left), during his mission to the
International Space Station June to October 2007. Supporting the
project on the ground from the Canadian Space Agency is Dr. Steve
MacLean, (right), who completed a mission to the ISS in 2006.
We realize that the timing of this project hasn't fallen within the
traditional school year, and for most classes it has spanned the end
of one school year and the beginning of the next. Consequently we
have left a lot of flexibility in scheduling and have built in the
option for teachers to add more than one class with each
registration. Teachers who registered in the Spring and participated
for the month of June, can now just add their new classes for this
school year. If you didn't take part in the project from June to
August, don't worry, we are still accepting registrations from new
teachers and classes!
There are many suggested student activities in the focus areas - blog
with the astronauts, solve problems, conduct investigations, and
perform classroom experiments in parallel with similar experiments
being carried out on board the ISS. Engage your class in as many
activities as you wish, in whatever order you wish, on whatever
schedule you can arrange. We'd love to have you join us!
