1
00:00:17,260 --> 00:00:15,529
in the following few minutes you will

2
00:00:20,330 --> 00:00:17,270
learn about an exciting educational

3
00:00:23,569 --> 00:00:20,340
program hosted at the NASA Lewis

4
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:23,579
Research Center in Cleveland Ohio it's

5
00:00:28,939 --> 00:00:26,730
called new West NASA's educational

6
00:00:32,749 --> 00:00:28,949
workshops for elementary school teachers

7
00:00:36,799 --> 00:00:32,759
the United States is training scientists

8
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:36,809
and engineers foreign-born seven out of

9
00:00:41,079 --> 00:00:38,730
every 10 and the colleges and

10
00:00:44,270 --> 00:00:41,089
universities were from a foreign land

11
00:00:47,359 --> 00:00:44,280
the remaining three out of ten were from

12
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:47,369
the United States it told me that our

13
00:00:53,869 --> 00:00:51,330
educational system cannot be poor but

14
00:00:56,750 --> 00:00:53,879
we're making a mistake someplace and we

15
00:00:58,939 --> 00:00:56,760
need to turn kids on and it has to be

16
00:01:02,630 --> 00:00:58,949
early in their school life by the third

17
00:01:05,149 --> 00:01:02,640
or fourth grade or we've lost them the

18
00:01:08,300 --> 00:01:05,159
teachers here that participated in the

19
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:08,310
newest program are special they've been

20
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:10,530
in the program that less than 100

21
00:01:15,350 --> 00:01:13,290
teachers have had at Louis and I should

22
00:01:17,320 --> 00:01:15,360
clarify that by saying elementary

23
00:01:20,570 --> 00:01:17,330
science teachers have had it Louis

24
00:01:24,380 --> 00:01:20,580
newest program has only been in

25
00:01:29,030 --> 00:01:24,390
existence for three years and so this is

26
00:01:33,790 --> 00:01:29,040
a very small select group within the

27
00:01:36,500 --> 00:01:33,800
United States it was developed to

28
00:01:39,469 --> 00:01:36,510
disseminate knowledge in aerospace

29
00:01:43,399 --> 00:01:39,479
education down into the lower grades

30
00:01:47,050 --> 00:01:43,409
where we need to turn the kid on you

31
00:01:51,020 --> 00:01:47,060
uniquely have the ability to go and

32
00:01:54,020 --> 00:01:51,030
motivate excite touch so many children

33
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:54,030
at the age when they are in their

34
00:01:59,120 --> 00:01:56,610
formative stages in particular in things

35
00:02:01,460 --> 00:01:59,130
like getting into interested in science

36
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:01,470
and math and technology where this

37
00:02:05,899 --> 00:02:03,450
country as you know as well as I has

38
00:02:07,730 --> 00:02:05,909
gone downhill I'll say in the number of

39
00:02:10,070 --> 00:02:07,740
last year's and people being kids being

40
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:10,080
interested in that and it's at the age

41
00:02:15,380 --> 00:02:11,970
of kids with you're associating with

42
00:02:17,390 --> 00:02:15,390
where they really i believe makeup they

43
00:02:20,270 --> 00:02:17,400
may not make up their minds but if they

44
00:02:21,980 --> 00:02:20,280
don't get some type of interest

45
00:02:24,020 --> 00:02:21,990
in their heart for this they're never

46
00:02:25,570 --> 00:02:24,030
going to pick it up later it's unlikely

47
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:25,580
that you're gonna pick it up later and

48
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:29,370
so it's critical for in a very parochial

49
00:02:35,290 --> 00:02:32,850
sense for the future of the space

50
00:02:37,550 --> 00:02:35,300
program for you to go out and do what

51
00:02:41,180 --> 00:02:37,560
what we'd like you to do as a result of

52
00:02:43,250 --> 00:02:41,190
this program to turn our students on to

53
00:02:46,490 --> 00:02:43,260
help them dream of reaching for the

54
00:02:49,250 --> 00:02:46,500
unknown to motivate them to go the extra

55
00:02:51,620 --> 00:02:49,260
distance these are some of the

56
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:51,630
challenges facing teachers in America's

57
00:02:57,740 --> 00:02:55,530
schools today with recent surveys and

58
00:02:59,720 --> 00:02:57,750
studies showing that American students

59
00:03:02,630 --> 00:02:59,730
are falling behind the rest of the

60
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:02,640
industrialized world in the areas of

61
00:03:08,330 --> 00:03:05,970
mathematics and the hard sciences nASA

62
00:03:11,270 --> 00:03:08,340
has taken an increased interest in

63
00:03:15,110 --> 00:03:11,280
trying to reach these children through

64
00:03:18,559 --> 00:03:15,120
various workshops seminars and unsigned

65
00:03:19,910 --> 00:03:18,569
help sessions NASA in conjunction with

66
00:03:22,940 --> 00:03:19,920
the National Science Teachers

67
00:03:25,640 --> 00:03:22,950
Association and the National Council of

68
00:03:28,069 --> 00:03:25,650
teachers of mathematics is attempting to

69
00:03:30,350 --> 00:03:28,079
get the educators excited about space

70
00:03:33,259 --> 00:03:30,360
and to get space theme related

71
00:03:36,259 --> 00:03:33,269
curriculum integrated into the daily

72
00:03:38,780 --> 00:03:36,269
lesson plans of these teachers NASA

73
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:38,790
supports two programs which bring the

74
00:03:43,630 --> 00:03:41,130
teachers to its centers for two weeks of

75
00:03:47,390 --> 00:03:43,640
intensive hands-on learning and training

76
00:03:50,180 --> 00:03:47,400
these two programs new mass NASA

77
00:03:52,970 --> 00:03:50,190
educational workshops for math science

78
00:03:56,180 --> 00:03:52,980
and technology teachers and new West

NASA educational workshop for elementary

80
00:04:03,020 --> 00:04:00,120
school teachers involve about 200 select

81
00:04:07,810 --> 00:04:03,030
educators out of the thousands that

82
00:04:11,150 --> 00:04:07,820
apply each year each NASA Center hosts

83
00:04:14,479 --> 00:04:11,160
22-24 educators and neither new master

84
00:04:17,779 --> 00:04:14,489
new West new mast works with secondary

85
00:04:20,029 --> 00:04:17,789
science and math teachers while newest

86
00:04:22,790 --> 00:04:20,039
concentrates getting elementary school

87
00:04:25,700 --> 00:04:22,800
teachers motivated and excited about

88
00:04:28,310 --> 00:04:25,710
teaching their students math and science

89
00:04:32,089 --> 00:04:28,320
and incorporating the aspects of the

90
00:04:34,100 --> 00:04:32,099
space program into their lessons during

91
00:04:36,770 --> 00:04:34,110
the summer of nineteen ninety

92
00:04:40,700 --> 00:04:36,780
the Lewis Research Center in Cleveland

93
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:40,710
Ohio played host to 22 educators in the

94
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:43,410
newest program I'm really kind of proud

95
00:04:50,780 --> 00:04:46,490
of you be part of a program that helps

96
00:04:52,670 --> 00:04:50,790
our elementary school teachers do the

97
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:52,680
difficult job that you all know better

98
00:05:00,020 --> 00:04:54,930
are better than I do what you do it's

99
00:05:01,850 --> 00:05:00,030
awfully important for the nation to do

100
00:05:04,280 --> 00:05:01,860
what you're doing you know or we have an

101
00:05:09,110 --> 00:05:04,290
administrator who's the head of NASA

102
00:05:12,110 --> 00:05:09,120
who's absolutely committed to using NASA

103
00:05:14,810 --> 00:05:12,120
which has kind of a unique charm or

104
00:05:17,420 --> 00:05:14,820
unique appeal i think to our young the

105
00:05:20,270 --> 00:05:17,430
astronauts and flying and all that sort

106
00:05:23,010 --> 00:05:20,280
stuff that really does capture them i

107
00:05:28,090 --> 00:05:26,020
captures them and maybe even coops than

108
00:05:29,890 --> 00:05:28,100
just a little bit into doing some of the

109
00:05:31,870 --> 00:05:29,900
tougher coursework that they would

110
00:05:35,350 --> 00:05:31,880
otherwise opted not to do pay attention

111
00:05:37,210 --> 00:05:35,360
to the man in the science I agree with

112
00:05:39,970 --> 00:05:37,220
our administrator that you know it's

113
00:05:42,730 --> 00:05:39,980
really a unique opportunity for this for

114
00:05:44,770 --> 00:05:42,740
NASA as a national arm civil space

115
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:44,780
program so whatever nice program to use

116
00:05:49,030 --> 00:05:46,730
all the leverage that we can bring

117
00:05:51,100 --> 00:05:49,040
unique things that we can bring to make

118
00:05:52,810 --> 00:05:51,110
make that sort of thing happen in any

119
00:05:57,420 --> 00:05:52,820
way we can help you all who really are

120
00:06:04,180 --> 00:06:00,490
we really want to do to be partners

121
00:06:06,370 --> 00:06:04,190
popular as the program began these 22

122
00:06:10,150 --> 00:06:06,380
educators found themselves back in

123
00:06:14,980 --> 00:06:10,160
school again 14 days of intense hands-on

124
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:14,990
learning lecturing field trips this time

125
00:06:19,990 --> 00:06:17,690
together gave the educators a chance to

126
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:20,000
grow together and to develop deep

127
00:06:25,330 --> 00:06:21,770
friendships as well as grow

128
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:25,340
intellectually the emotional impact is

129
00:06:32,710 --> 00:06:30,170
something that can be replicated so I

130
00:06:33,940 --> 00:06:32,720
guess for me the emotional thing is

131
00:06:35,530 --> 00:06:33,950
something of these two weeks is

132
00:06:38,190 --> 00:06:35,540
something that I'm really going to is

133
00:06:47,990 --> 00:06:38,200
really going to stay with me for that

134
00:06:58,370 --> 00:06:55,580
I really want piggyback you what Ben

135
00:07:00,050 --> 00:06:58,380
it's just that says the personal contact

136
00:07:02,150 --> 00:07:00,060
was going to be really something I'm

137
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:02,160
going to remember and I really thank you

138
00:07:07,250 --> 00:07:04,410
for all the local materials and I will

139
00:07:08,900 --> 00:07:07,260
definitely be able to dispense to at

140
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:08,910
least 125

141
00:07:14,060 --> 00:07:11,370
you should be here

142
00:07:17,300 --> 00:07:14,070
the first day of newest was a time for

143
00:07:20,090 --> 00:07:17,310
everybody to get acquainted get situated

144
00:07:24,020 --> 00:07:20,100
and get brought up to speed on what they

145
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:24,030
could expect in a talk by Pam bacon from

146
00:07:29,330 --> 00:07:26,370
NASA headquarters educational programs

147
00:07:33,379 --> 00:07:29,340
office the teachers were told what NASA

148
00:07:36,830 --> 00:07:33,389
hope to gain in return Caroline Benson

149
00:07:40,070 --> 00:07:36,840
of nsta space science and technology

150
00:07:42,650 --> 00:07:40,080
division gave a presentation about nsta

151
00:07:46,450 --> 00:07:42,660
and other programs the organization has

152
00:07:49,159 --> 00:07:46,460
to offer teachers then the work began

153
00:07:51,650 --> 00:07:49,169
with group lectures every morning by

154
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:51,660
John hartsville aerospace educational

155
00:07:57,020 --> 00:07:54,570
specialist hartsville talked and a range

156
00:08:00,290 --> 00:07:57,030
of subjects in the fields of Aeronautics

157
00:08:03,050 --> 00:08:00,300
and aerospace the history of flight the

158
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:03,060
solar system the space shuttle and

159
00:08:08,750 --> 00:08:05,370
eating and sleeping in space to name a

160
00:08:11,300 --> 00:08:08,760
few he also had some materials to let

161
00:08:45,540 --> 00:08:11,310
the teachers see for themselves what it

162
00:08:50,310 --> 00:08:48,070
additionally hartsville introduced some

163
00:08:52,750 --> 00:08:50,320
simple projects which Illustrated

164
00:08:55,030 --> 00:08:52,760
aerodynamic concepts that could be used

165
00:08:58,840 --> 00:08:55,040
in the classroom using inexpensive

166
00:09:02,140 --> 00:08:58,850
supplies your host gave talks on

167
00:09:04,870 --> 00:09:02,150
motivating students projects to be used

168
00:09:12,180 --> 00:09:04,880
in the classroom reviewed common Hallie

169
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:16,090
right see if nectar ok see you next on I

170
00:09:21,610 --> 00:09:18,490
guarantee you can see every one of these

171
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:21,620
outside and introduce them to different

172
00:09:27,730 --> 00:09:24,650
projects on how to incorporate everyday

173
00:09:37,140 --> 00:09:27,740
things into space science related topics

174
00:09:42,970 --> 00:09:37,150
so take 344 514 so if you'll divide your

175
00:09:45,340 --> 00:09:42,980
344,000 by 16 that'll tell you how much

176
00:09:47,860 --> 00:09:45,350
to your loaf ways the newest

177
00:09:50,560 --> 00:09:47,870
participants afternoon were filled with

178
00:09:54,690 --> 00:09:50,570
tours of various facilities on the Lewis

179
00:09:58,390 --> 00:09:54,700
grounds the icing research tunnel

180
00:10:00,870 --> 00:09:58,400
propulsion systems laboratory engines

181
00:10:02,910 --> 00:10:00,880
make their thrust by taking air

182
00:10:04,980 --> 00:10:02,920
put in front of them and pretty low

183
00:10:07,100 --> 00:10:04,990
speed and throwing out the back as fast

184
00:10:09,300 --> 00:10:07,110
as they can throw it out the back and

185
00:10:12,930 --> 00:10:09,310
they do it by pumping it through there

186
00:10:25,530 --> 00:10:12,940
and you do it by eating the zero-gravity

187
00:10:34,460 --> 00:10:29,350
and the hangar where the research

188
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:36,320
we always tell the people since we fly

189
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:38,610
in an urban area we give them an Ohio

190
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:40,890
Bell card a mastercard cassette on their

191
00:10:45,770 --> 00:10:44,010
way there were also group activities

192
00:10:48,230 --> 00:10:45,780
where the teachers got hands-on

193
00:10:50,780 --> 00:10:48,240
experience with projects for classroom

194
00:10:54,260 --> 00:10:50,790
and breakout groups to give energy to

195
00:10:56,330 --> 00:10:54,270
the orbiter the momentum it's staying

196
00:10:58,610 --> 00:10:56,340
down here it's a smaller bounce and then

197
00:11:00,830 --> 00:10:58,620
children work with the weight larger

198
00:11:02,570 --> 00:11:00,840
heavier how much farther is it going to

199
00:11:04,610 --> 00:11:02,580
go and we start doing predictions and

200
00:11:07,910 --> 00:11:04,620
don't forget to tell your students there

201
00:11:13,070 --> 00:11:07,920
were no wrong answers in science on

202
00:11:14,630 --> 00:11:13,080
oohing unexpected results so watch again

203
00:11:16,850 --> 00:11:14,640
just the ball part I'll watch the

204
00:11:20,900 --> 00:11:16,860
orbiter so it doesn't here we go to the

205
00:11:23,150 --> 00:11:20,910
fire breakout groups consisted of six to

206
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:23,160
eight teachers working on various

207
00:11:27,350 --> 00:11:25,410
projects which were then shared with the

208
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:27,360
rest of the teachers during the last

209
00:11:33,710 --> 00:11:30,090
days of the workshop the group's worked

210
00:11:37,460 --> 00:11:33,720
with a leader your host John hartsfield

211
00:11:44,500 --> 00:11:37,470
and Richard Kuna a NASA physicist the

212
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:48,700
as I described some behavior of light

213
00:11:56,990 --> 00:11:53,970
reflection comet halley what it really

214
00:11:58,730 --> 00:11:57,000
is in order for them to measure the risk

215
00:12:08,840 --> 00:11:58,740
of the large living on Space Station

216
00:12:12,250 --> 00:12:08,850
freedom and Donna Watson with NASA pilot

217
00:12:15,380 --> 00:12:12,260
bill Ricky on her experience in the t-34

218
00:12:18,110 --> 00:12:15,390
this plane is used by NASA Lewis in

219
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:18,120
aerospace projects in conjunction with

220
00:12:24,350 --> 00:12:20,610
local high schools and the office of

221
00:12:26,140 --> 00:12:24,360
educational programs one day the group

222
00:12:28,220 --> 00:12:26,150
got to tour the Federal Aviation

223
00:12:31,700 --> 00:12:28,230
Administration's facilities at the

224
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:31,710
cleveland hopkins airport they split up

225
00:12:36,860 --> 00:12:33,810
into groups and got to go up into the

226
00:12:39,830 --> 00:12:36,870
tower the track on or terminal radar

227
00:12:42,770 --> 00:12:39,840
approach control and saw a presentation

228
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:42,780
on careers in aeronautics another group

229
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:45,450
project the teachers had to do was

230
00:12:50,990 --> 00:12:47,850
construct an egg survival system

231
00:12:58,610 --> 00:12:51,000
which was then tested so to speak at the

232
00:13:00,889 --> 00:12:58,620
microgravity drop tower needless to say

233
00:13:39,650 --> 00:13:00,899
some of them needed a little refinement

234
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:42,060
but the highlight for many of the

235
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:44,890
participants was an interactive video

236
00:13:50,190 --> 00:13:46,930
conference with astronaut story Musgrave

237
00:13:53,250 --> 00:13:50,200
and the newest group down at the Johnson

238
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:53,260
Space Center in Houston Texas Musgrave

239
00:13:58,110 --> 00:13:55,450
gave a slide presentation on a manned

240
00:14:00,450 --> 00:13:58,120
space flight aboard the shuttle and his

241
00:14:03,810 --> 00:14:00,460
philosophies and then took questions

242
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:03,820
from both newest groups the activity

243
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:05,770
left some deep impressions on the

244
00:14:11,340 --> 00:14:09,250
teachers when story spent so much time

245
00:14:14,090 --> 00:14:11,350
with a little child bent over looking

246
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:14,100
into the sand he did that on purpose

247
00:14:18,810 --> 00:14:17,050
there was a quite a message that it was

248
00:14:20,550 --> 00:14:18,820
brought home to me and it kind of hold

249
00:14:23,370 --> 00:14:20,560
everything together that we're doing

250
00:14:24,990 --> 00:14:23,380
here and he said we can spend a lot of

251
00:14:26,130 --> 00:14:25,000
time and we're doing a lot of research

252
00:14:29,670 --> 00:14:26,140
and we're looking at things from

253
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:29,680
different angles but do stop and look

254
00:14:34,770 --> 00:14:32,530
look at what we have right here he

255
00:14:37,530 --> 00:14:34,780
brought earth homes so close to me that

256
00:14:39,570 --> 00:14:37,540
i will look at everything around me and

257
00:14:42,540 --> 00:14:39,580
much a different viewpoint than i had

258
00:14:45,660 --> 00:14:42,550
ever done before as the two weeks ation

259
00:14:48,780 --> 00:14:45,670
came to a close a banquet was held for

260
00:14:50,940 --> 00:14:48,790
the teacher after dinner the teachers

261
00:14:59,090 --> 00:14:50,950
had to present their space exploration

262
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:05,380
our kids from your eternity excl re SP

263
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:11,850
HCG was the lady her name was Flo for a

264
00:15:16,310 --> 00:15:13,890
classroom teacher who said she had to go

265
00:15:18,470 --> 00:15:16,320
so she packed up her things to move to

266
00:15:21,070 --> 00:15:18,480
Mars but little did she know she had to

267
00:15:24,650 --> 00:15:21,080
travel through the stars Cassiopeia

268
00:15:26,630 --> 00:15:24,660
Andromeda Hercules then plaques and

269
00:15:29,420 --> 00:15:26,640
certificates of participation were

270
00:15:32,140 --> 00:15:29,430
handed out and the evening clothes with

271
00:15:59,479 --> 00:15:32,150
an emotional groups signing of the song

272
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:00,770
me

273
00:16:23,180 --> 00:16:21,170
on the final day several of the teachers

274
00:16:26,390 --> 00:16:23,190
shared their impressions of the workshop

275
00:16:28,579 --> 00:16:26,400
with Fred pavan le director of the

276
00:16:31,579 --> 00:16:28,589
administration and computer services

277
00:16:33,740 --> 00:16:31,589
Directorate the benefits of the newest

278
00:16:35,890 --> 00:16:33,750
program are incredible they will

279
00:16:38,990 --> 00:16:35,900
multiply and it is like a ripple effect

280
00:16:41,329 --> 00:16:39,000
taking the 22 teachers that have

281
00:16:42,860 --> 00:16:41,339
experienced something here at Lewis we

282
00:16:44,990 --> 00:16:42,870
will go on and spread that throughout

283
00:16:49,180 --> 00:16:45,000
the country the difference I think

284
00:16:52,730 --> 00:16:49,190
between passing out information to

285
00:16:54,620 --> 00:16:52,740
teachers at a convention meeting people

286
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:54,630
at a symposium at a conference and

287
00:16:59,269 --> 00:16:56,970
passing out information to 20,000

288
00:17:00,920 --> 00:16:59,279
educators the chances of it really

289
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:00,930
getting into the classroom are very slim

290
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:04,650
and then you can take 22 teachers bring

291
00:17:10,910 --> 00:17:08,250
them to a NASA Center let them meet the

292
00:17:12,790 --> 00:17:10,920
people and all of a sudden the

293
00:17:15,439 --> 00:17:12,800
information that NASA wants to give us

294
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:15,449
becomes a part of us and we now have a

295
00:17:20,090 --> 00:17:17,850
new ownership in it and when someone has

296
00:17:21,350 --> 00:17:20,100
an ownership in something you take that

297
00:17:23,510 --> 00:17:21,360
very personally and you will make sure

298
00:17:26,929 --> 00:17:23,520
that it is taken care of and it is given

299
00:17:28,309 --> 00:17:26,939
out to others what I have discovered in

300
00:17:31,100 --> 00:17:28,319
the two weeks that I've been here at

301
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:31,110
Lewis is that the people of the Lewis

302
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:32,850
research center are NASA's greatest

303
00:17:38,540 --> 00:17:36,330
resource they are tremendous these are

304
00:17:41,270 --> 00:17:38,550
professional people who treated us as

305
00:17:44,090 --> 00:17:41,280
professionals they opened their doors

306
00:17:48,169 --> 00:17:44,100
they open their minds they would listen

307
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:48,179
to us they answered our questions I it

308
00:17:52,580 --> 00:17:49,890
was exciting for us to see the pride

309
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:52,590
that they had in their work there was a

310
00:17:58,130 --> 00:17:55,010
one gentleman at the zero-gravity

311
00:18:00,230 --> 00:17:58,140
facility who really took pride in what

312
00:18:02,450 --> 00:18:00,240
he was doing and he gave us that sense

313
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:02,460
of pride that we can take back to our

314
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:04,530
classrooms I think probably this is

315
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:08,250
singer Lee the most important activity

316
00:18:16,070 --> 00:18:10,050
in which I could have participated this

317
00:18:18,350 --> 00:18:16,080
summer it was not only an exciting and

318
00:18:20,330 --> 00:18:18,360
productive experience to visit the

319
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:20,340
laboratories to meet with the people

320
00:18:25,820 --> 00:18:22,890
they have an opportunity to ask

321
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:25,830
questions of them I was particularly

322
00:18:29,270 --> 00:18:26,970
impressed with

323
00:18:33,620 --> 00:18:29,280
dedication to what they're doing and our

324
00:18:37,070 --> 00:18:33,630
enthusiasm for it but I also gained much

325
00:18:39,620 --> 00:18:37,080
from the outstanding elementary school

326
00:18:42,289 --> 00:18:39,630
teachers that were involved in this

327
00:18:45,020 --> 00:18:42,299
two-week newest workshop these are

328
00:18:48,260 --> 00:18:45,030
really incredible people they not only

329
00:18:54,250 --> 00:18:48,270
talk shop during the time that they were

330
00:18:57,230 --> 00:18:54,260
at the Lewis facility they talked shop

331
00:18:59,419 --> 00:18:57,240
16 hours a day and that may be a

332
00:19:02,960 --> 00:18:59,429
conservative estimate because that was

333
00:19:06,409 --> 00:19:02,970
only during the times that I saw them so

334
00:19:08,630 --> 00:19:06,419
I gained many ideas on teaching science

335
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:08,640
and math elementary school-aged children

336
00:19:14,899 --> 00:19:11,850
I gained much from my colleagues in the

337
00:19:16,820 --> 00:19:14,909
workshop I gained much from the leaders

338
00:19:19,310 --> 00:19:16,830
of the workshop not only what they were

339
00:19:21,890 --> 00:19:19,320
willing to share with us but the

340
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:21,900
modeling they did in terms of their

341
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:24,570
enthusiasm for the whole space program

342
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:26,730
following their visit to Lewis research

343
00:19:31,399 --> 00:19:29,490
center the newest teachers are supported

344
00:19:34,940 --> 00:19:31,409
and followed up on through the year by

345
00:19:38,029 --> 00:19:34,950
Anita so Lars NASA newest coordinator at

346
00:19:39,770 --> 00:19:38,039
Lewis Research Center the participants

347
00:19:42,110 --> 00:19:39,780
are mailed updates and follow-up

348
00:19:44,330 --> 00:19:42,120
materials and are called twice a month

349
00:19:47,360 --> 00:19:44,340
in an effort to see how their new

350
00:19:48,980 --> 00:19:47,370
curriculum is working if you are

351
00:19:51,980 --> 00:19:48,990
interested in learning more about the

352
