NASA eClips Our World: Where Do We Find Extremophiles?Video Description: Where do we find extremophiles? We look for environments that push the limits for ordinary living organisms. NASA conducts analog testing in these extreme environments to better understand life on Earth and identify the potential for life in the universe. Video Length: 3:25. NASA eClipsTM is a suite of online student-centered, standards-based resources that support instruction by increasing STEM literacy in formal and nonformal settings. These free digital and downloadable resources inform and engage students through NASA-inspired, real-world connections.NASA eClips Our World videos (grades 3-5) help students understand the differences between science (the natural world) and engineering (the designed world). These video segments supplement elementary learning objectives not only in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, but also in reading, writing, visual and performing arts.
This lesson connects the invention of the x-ray by Tesla to the artwork of Austrailian Aboriginals.
When you think about moving, what comes to mind? Most of us think about using our muscles. But what tells your muscles to move? Your brain! Join Dr. Catherine Franssen, a resident scientist at the Science Museum of Virginia, as we investigate how your brain senses the outside world and helps you walk, run, swim and toss a ball. Movement can even make your brain think better! Along the way, we will explore the different areas of your brain and create a model brain out of dough.
Join Sarah Peterson, Education Coordinator at the Virginia Zoo in Norfolk, as she explores the five things all animals need to survive: food, water, space, shelter, and oxygen. Take a closer look at amazing animals such as giraffes, crocodiles, snakes, prairie dogs, and seahorses.
