1 00:00:25,119 --> 00:00:26,550 this flame's a pretty hot fun so if we 2 00:00:26,550 --> 00:00:26,560 this flame's a pretty hot fun so if we 3 00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:28,830 this flame's a pretty hot fun so if we looked at a star which would be a hot 4 00:00:28,830 --> 00:00:28,840 looked at a star which would be a hot 5 00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:31,109 looked at a star which would be a hot star blue one and a cold one would be 6 00:00:31,109 --> 00:00:31,119 star blue one and a cold one would be 7 00:00:31,119 --> 00:00:33,190 star blue one and a cold one would be red right okay how to get students 8 00:00:33,190 --> 00:00:33,200 red right okay how to get students 9 00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:35,510 red right okay how to get students excited about learning science that's a 10 00:00:35,510 --> 00:00:35,520 excited about learning science that's a 11 00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:36,950 excited about learning science that's a question that teachers across the 12 00:00:36,950 --> 00:00:36,960 question that teachers across the 13 00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:39,670 question that teachers across the country face daily and the answer may be 14 00:00:39,670 --> 00:00:39,680 country face daily and the answer may be 15 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:42,229 country face daily and the answer may be in the stars along with the next space 16 00:00:42,229 --> 00:00:42,239 in the stars along with the next space 17 00:00:42,239 --> 00:00:44,229 in the stars along with the next space shuttle nasa will be launching a new 18 00:00:44,229 --> 00:00:44,239 shuttle nasa will be launching a new 19 00:00:44,239

nearby u.s space 83 00:01:51,119 --> 00:01:51,990 shuttle and going to nearby u.s space camp 84 00:01:51,990 --> 00:01:52,000 camp 85 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:53,830 camp space classroom subject matter is 86 00:01:53,830 --> 00:01:53,840 space classroom subject matter is 87 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:55,190 space classroom subject matter is similar to what these students could 88 00:01:55,190 --> 00:01:55,200 similar to what these students could 89 00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,510 similar to what these students could expect in their home schools the kids in 90 00:01:57,510 --> 00:01:57,520 expect in their home schools the kids in 91 00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:58,789 expect in their home schools the kids in space classroom will be doing some 92 00:01:58,789 --> 00:01:58,799 space classroom will be doing some 93 00:01:58,799 --> 00:02:00,709 space classroom will be doing some hands-on activities to explain the 94 00:02:00,709 --> 00:02:00,719 hands-on activities to explain the 95 00:02:00,719 --> 00:02:02,230 hands-on activities to explain the characteristics and components of the 96 00:02:02,230 --> 00:02:02,240 characteristics and components of the 97 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,149 characteristics and components of the electromagnetic spectrum and that is a 98 00:02:04,149 --> 00:02:04,159 electromagnetic spectrum and that is a 99 00:02:04,159 --> 00:02:06,389 electromagnetic spectrum and that is a basic physics concept we'll be talking 100 00:02:06,389 --> 00:02:06,399 basic physics concept we'll be talking 101 00:02:06,399 --> 00:02:08,309 basic physics concept we'll be talking about not only the visible light but 102 00:02:08,309 --> 00:02:08,319 about not only the visible light but 103 00:02:08,319 --> 00:02:10,070 about not only the visible light but also invisible forms of energy such as 104 00:02:10,070 --> 00:02:10,080 also invisible forms of energy such as 105 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,150 also invisible forms of energy such as ultraviolet and x-ray although these 106 00:02:12,150 --> 00:02:12,160 ultraviolet and x-ray although these 107 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,550 ultraviolet and x-ray although these ideas are basic space classroom will 108 00:02:14,550 --> 00:02:14,560 ideas are basic space classroom will 109 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:16,309 ideas are basic space classroom will give students a new perspective on their 110 00:02:16,309 --> 00:02:16,319 give students a new perspective on their 111 00:02:16,319 --> 00:02:17,589 give students a new perspective on their significance 112 00:02:17,589 --> 00:02:17,599 significance 113 00:02:17,599 --> 00:02:18,710 significance it's one thing to learn about a 114 00:02:18,710 --> 00:02:18,720 it's one thing to learn about a 115 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,270 it's one thing to learn about a scientific concept in the classroom 116 00:02:21,270 --> 00:02:21,280 scientific concept in the classroom 117 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:23,670 scientific concept in the classroom but it's something else entirely to see 118 00:02:23,670 --> 00:02:23,680 but it's something else entirely to see 119 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,790 but it's something else entirely to see how that concept is being applied 120 00:02:26,790 --> 00:02:26,800 how that concept is being applied 121 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:28,630 how that concept is being applied by astronauts aboard the space shuttle 122 00:02:28,630 --> 00:02:28,640 by astronauts aboard the space shuttle 123 00:02:28,640 --> 00:02:30,229 by astronauts aboard the space shuttle for example 124 00:02:30,229 --> 00:02:30,239 for example 125 00:02:30,239 --> 00:02:32,630 for example and that link between the classroom and 126 00:02:32,630 --> 00:02:32,640 and that link between the classroom and 127 00:02:32,640 --> 00:02:35,270 and that link between the classroom and the real world is what space classroom 128 00:02:35,270 --> 00:02:35,280 the real world is what space classroom 129 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,070 the real world is what space classroom is all about nasa hopes this new program 130 00:02:38,070 --> 00:02:38,080 is all about nasa hopes this new program 131 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,309 is all about nasa hopes this new program will help teachers bring science down to 132 00:02:40,309 --> 00:02:40,319 will help teachers bring science down to 133 00:02:40,319 --> 00:02:42,470 will help teachers bring science down to earth for their students by taking the 134 00:02:42,470 --> 00:02:42,480 earth for their students by taking the 135 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:44,309 earth for their students by taking the classroom to space 136 00:02:44,309 --> 00:02:44,319 classroom to space 137 00:02:44,319 --> 00:02:46,070 classroom to space in huntsville alabama this is mike 138 00:02:46,070 --> 00:02:46,080 in huntsville alabama this is mike 139 00:02:46,080 --> 00:03:08,309 in huntsville alabama this is mike arrington reporting 140 00:03:08,309 --> 00:03:08,319 141 00:03:08,319 --> 00:03:09,670 you know i'll tell you tell you guys 142 00:03:09,670 --> 00:03:09,680 you know i'll tell you tell you guys 143 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:11,830 you know i'll tell you tell you guys something we we had a uh 144 00:03:11,830 --> 00:03:11,840 something we we had a uh 145 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,869 something we we had a uh governor hunt is here but we had a 146 00:03:14,869 --> 00:03:14,879 governor hunt is here but we had a 147 00:03:14,879 --> 00:03:17,190 governor hunt is here but we had a governor's conference the governors from 148 00:03:17,190 --> 00:03:17,200 governor's conference the governors from 149 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:18,790 governor's conference the governors from all the states 150 00:03:18,790 --> 00:03:18,800 all the states 151 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:20,470 all the states and i don't think any president has had 152 00:03:20,470 --> 00:03:20,480 and i don't think any president has had 153 00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:22,790 and i don't think any president has had that before but one of the goals 154 00:03:22,790 --> 00:03:22,800 that before but one of the goals 155 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,350 that before but one of the goals a national goal first time they ever set 156 00:03:25,350 --> 00:03:25,360 a national goal first time they ever set 157 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:26,949 a national goal first time they ever set national goals 158 00:03:26,949 --> 00:03:26,959 national goals 159 00:03:26,959 --> 00:03:29,990 national goals was to have much more 160 00:03:29,990 --> 00:03:30,000 was to have much more 161 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,910 was to have much more literacy and fluency in math and science 162 00:03:33,910 --> 00:03:33,920 literacy and fluency in math and science 163 00:03:33,920 --> 00:03:35,990 literacy and fluency in math and science and so you're out on the cutting edge i 164 00:03:35,990 --> 00:03:36,000 and so you're out on the cutting edge i 165 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,070 and so you're out on the cutting edge i mean just the knowledge of this but but 166 00:03:38,070 --> 00:03:38,080 mean just the knowledge of this but but 167 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,149 mean just the knowledge of this but but it's a very important goal in 168 00:03:40,149 --> 00:03:40,159 it's a very important goal in 169 00:03:40,159 --> 00:03:42,149 it's a very important goal in keeping our country competitive and 170 00:03:42,149 --> 00:03:42,159 keeping our country competitive and 171 00:03:42,159 --> 00:03:44,470 keeping our country competitive and keeping us 172 00:03:44,470 --> 00:03:44,480 keeping us 173 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,270 keeping us continuing to to lead the world in 174 00:03:47,270 --> 00:03:47,280 continuing to to lead the world in 175 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:49,030 continuing to to lead the world in in science and math this whole 176 00:03:49,030 --> 00:03:49,040 in science and math this whole 177 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:53,830 in science and math this whole educational goal so good luck 178 00:03:53,830 --> 00:03:53,840 179 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,630 um each element puts off its own color 180 00:03:56,630 --> 00:03:56,640 um each element puts off its own color 181 00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:58,550 um each element puts off its own color and an emission emits a certain color 182 00:03:58,550 --> 00:03:58,560 and an emission emits a certain color 183 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,630 and an emission emits a certain color and we see the copper makes a nice green 184 00:04:00,630 --> 00:04:00,640 and we see the copper makes a nice green 185 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:04,789 and we see the copper makes a nice green flame every time so but that's just fine 186 00:04:04,789 --> 00:04:04,799 flame every time so but that's just fine 187 00:04:04,799 --> 00:04:06,710 flame every time so but that's just fine have you sit down you can't mr if you 188 00:04:06,710 --> 00:04:06,720 have you sit down you can't mr if you 189 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,750 have you sit down you can't mr if you would go ahead and try this one 190 00:04:09,750 --> 00:04:09,760 would go ahead and try this one 191 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:19,270 would go ahead and try this one all right 192 00:04:19,270 --> 00:04:19,280 193 00:04:19,280 --> 00:04:20,069 sure 194 00:04:20,069 --> 00:04:20,079 sure 195 00:04:20,079 --> 00:04:21,909 sure what do i got here then okay you have 196 00:04:21,909 --> 00:04:21,919 what do i got here then okay you have 197 00:04:21,919 --> 00:04:23,670 what do i got here then okay you have lithium and lithium always makes a red 198 00:04:23,670 --> 00:04:23,680 lithium and lithium always makes a red 199 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,230 lithium and lithium always makes a red flame so if we saw this red flame again 200 00:04:26,230 --> 00:04:26,240 flame so if we saw this red flame again 201 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,390 flame so if we saw this red flame again we would know that we had lithium the 202 00:04:28,390 --> 00:04:28,400 we would know that we had lithium the 203 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:30,629 we would know that we had lithium the space classroom lessons will enable 204 00:04:30,629 --> 00:04:30,639 space classroom lessons will enable 205 00:04:30,639 --> 00:04:32,790 space classroom lessons will enable students to hear a lecture by the 206 00:04:32,790 --> 00:04:32,800 students to hear a lecture by the 207 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:33,990 students to hear a lecture by the shuttle team 208 00:04:33,990 --> 00:04:34,000 shuttle team 209 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,710 shuttle team and then interact with questions 210 00:04:36,710 --> 00:04:36,720 and then interact with questions 211 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:38,870 and then interact with questions and discussion 212 00:04:38,870 --> 00:04:38,880 and discussion 213 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:40,550 and discussion the entire learning session will be 214 00:04:40,550 --> 00:04:40,560 the entire learning session will be 215 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:44,070 the entire learning session will be carried by the nasa select to classrooms 216 00:04:44,070 --> 00:04:44,080 carried by the nasa select to classrooms 217 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,950 carried by the nasa select to classrooms across the country 218 00:04:46,950 --> 00:04:46,960 across the country 219 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:48,950 across the country what a powerful way 220 00:04:48,950 --> 00:04:48,960 what a powerful way 221 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,030 what a powerful way to teach our kids 222 00:04:51,030 --> 00:04:51,040 to teach our kids 223 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:54,629 to teach our kids the importance of space 224 00:04:54,629 --> 00:04:54,639 the importance of space 225 00:04:54,639 --> 00:04:56,790 the importance of space what a great example of the fa of the 226 00:04:56,790 --> 00:04:56,800 what a great example of the fa of the 227 00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,510 what a great example of the fa of the effect of our space program 228 00:04:59,510 --> 00:04:59,520 effect of our space program 229 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:01,909 effect of our space program and the effect of our space program 230 00:05:01,909 --> 00:05:01,919 and the effect of our space program 231 00:05:01,919 --> 00:05:04,390 and the effect of our space program on education well we're seeing that test 232 00:05:04,390 --> 00:05:04,400 on education well we're seeing that test 233 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:06,150 on education well we're seeing that test scores are declining in math and science 234 00:05:06,150 --> 00:05:06,160 scores are declining in math and science 235 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:07,510 scores are declining in math and science and that shows us that kids are really 236 00:05:07,510 --> 00:05:07,520 and that shows us that kids are really 237 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:09,510 and that shows us that kids are really losing interest in math and science they 238 00:05:09,510 --> 00:05:09,520 losing interest in math and science they 239 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:10,790 losing interest in math and science they seem to think that it's something that 240 00:05:10,790 --> 00:05:10,800 seem to think that it's something that 241 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:12,390 seem to think that it's something that only geniuses can do and it's not 242 00:05:12,390 --> 00:05:12,400 only geniuses can do and it's not 243 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,029 only geniuses can do and it's not applicable to their lives but we think 244 00:05:15,029 --> 00:05:15,039 applicable to their lives but we think 245 00:05:15,039 --> 00:05:16,790 applicable to their lives but we think that it really is a day-to-day thing 246 00:05:16,790 --> 00:05:16,800 that it really is a day-to-day thing 247 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:18,070 that it really is a day-to-day thing teachers are losing sight of that and 248 00:05:18,070 --> 00:05:18,080 teachers are losing sight of that and 249 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:19,830 teachers are losing sight of that and they need to be encouraged to teach it 250 00:05:19,830 --> 00:05:19,840 they need to be encouraged to teach it 251 00:05:19,840 --> 00:05:22,070 they need to be encouraged to teach it day-to-day in the classroom kids need to 252 00:05:22,070 --> 00:05:22,080 day-to-day in the classroom kids need to 253 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:23,909 day-to-day in the classroom kids need to see that it's something that would help 254 00:05:23,909 --> 00:05:23,919 see that it's something that would help 255 00:05:23,919 --> 00:05:25,749 see that it's something that would help them in their future as a consumer and a 256 00:05:25,749 --> 00:05:25,759 them in their future as a consumer and a 257 00:05:25,759 --> 00:05:27,670 them in their future as a consumer and a voter and also math and science are real 258 00:05:27,670 --> 00:05:27,680 voter and also math and science are real 259 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:29,029 voter and also math and science are real things that they could go into as a 260 00:05:29,029 --> 00:05:29,039 things that they could go into as a 261 00:05:29,039 --> 00:05:31,510 things that they could go into as a career does that make sense so light 262 00:05:31,510 --> 00:05:31,520 career does that make sense so light 263 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:32,950 career does that make sense so light always travels 264 00:05:32,950 --> 00:05:32,960 always travels 265 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:34,629 always travels at the same speed and they have 266 00:05:34,629 --> 00:05:34,639 at the same speed and they have 267 00:05:34,639 --> 00:05:37,590 at the same speed and they have different frequencies and then different 268 00:05:37,590 --> 00:05:37,600 different frequencies and then different 269 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,600 different frequencies and then different wavelengths
