Welcome to Zero-G's Teacher Blogs

Welcome to ZERO-G's Online Education Community!

In close partnership with Northrop Grumman, Space Florida, SpaceTEC, Brevard Community College and many more, ZERO-G is able to provide education, research and workforce programs from which tomorrow's mathematicians, scientists, technicians and engineers will emerge.

All education and research programs begin with rich, content-based workshops using hands-on activities. Incorporating the National Standards for science and math, the workshops prepare participants for their weightless experience and initiate the process of classroom integration.

This site is part of that process and is offered as a centralized resource to educators, researchers and workforce members scheduled for flights aboard G-Force 1. Here you can communicate with fellow flyers, plan experiments, obtain workshop and flight information, discuss classroom or practical application as well as post outcomes and curriculum.

We are thrilled to have you as a member of our weightless, online community.

Very best,

Michelle Peters
Director, Education Programs

gravity is such a let down

Submitted by tamimcintire on Sun, 2008-10-12 21:33.

It's been close to a week since our flight, and I'm still dreaming about being weightless. Especially after seeing all those great pictures online, it's like reliving it again! Thanks picture guy--you made me look like Supergirl! Really though, I didn't know that gravity would be such a let down. I think I'm going to need a post flight support group, and the only way to get over this is to go up again.

Sept 30, 2008 flight.

Submitted by Agnes Wong on Sat, 2008-10-11 23:13.

Students and teachers were impressed with my flight suit. I tapped channel 6 news’ clipping and showed to my students. I also explained and demonstrated the experiments my flight group “attempted” to do on the flight. The students asked questions such as, “Did you get sick?”, “What was drinking water at zero gravity like?”, and “How long was the flight?” The students wanted to touch all the objects that went up with me in the plane.

Hello Afternoon Blue Group in Atlanta,

I have the PhotoStory ready of our flight. This is what I create for my students so they can see what we do on our flight. Steve's pictures really captured your energy! If you would like me to send you the PhotoStory, please send me an email from the email account you'd like the PhotoStory sent. Please use my school email address: harriss@highlands.k12.fl.us

Thanks,
Susan
