NASA/JPL Educator Workshop: The Physics of Designing a Mission to Mars
When: Saturday, March 9, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Where: NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, California
Target Audience: Formal and informal educators for grades 6-12
Overview: Designing a mission to another planet isn't just about building new technology; it starts with an understanding of the laws of science. By understanding the laws that govern forces and motion, NASA can launch enormous rockets and design robots to drive on the harsh terrain of another planet.
In this workshop, we will explore these physical sciences as they relate to NASA missions and the Next-Generation Science Standards (NGSS), modeling these concepts using inexpensive activities that can be taken back to the classroom.
- This workshop is not available online; you must be physically present to participate.
- This workshop is limited to educators at U.S.-based institutions and organizations.
