The Brain in Space

Description

The lessons and activities in this guide will engage your students in the excitement of space life science investigations after the Neurolab Spacelab mission. It is our goal that the information in this guide will inspire both you and your students to become interested and active participants in this space mission. Few experiences can compare with the excite- ment and thrill of watching a Shuttle launch. This guide provides an opportunity for you and your students to go one step further by con- ducting the experiments on Earth that are rele- vant to the research conducted in space. The Brain in Space teacher’s guide is written for you, the teacher. The activities presented in The Brain in Space are most appropriate for middle and high school life sciences teachers and their students. The NASA Neurolab Space Shuttle flight, STS 90, was scheduled for lift-off in April 1998.
