Recommended Guide Usage

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 tea c hers guide is w r itten 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.

National Science and Math Education Standards

The Brain in Space activities are compatible with the National Science and Math Education Standards. Because many of the activities and demonstrations apply to more than one subject area, a matrix chart relates activities to national standards in science and mathematics and to science process skills. In each matrix, the sci- ence and math content standards are listed along the left margin. Activities within a given section that fulfill a listed standard or include the development of a listed skill are designated with the symbol in the appropriate column.

Scientific Method

Since scientists jobs frequently call for effective communication of scientific results to the com- munity, special emphasis is placed on involving students in activities that require the develop- ment and delivery of scientific presentations.
