A Good Time for a Productive Distraction

In NAR we would say anytime is a good time to build a rocket, but in this unsettled moment we are now enduring where much of the country is sequestered at home, building a rocket kit is a productive distraction. As a teacher, your school where you work and your children's school as well may be closed so this unexpected furlough is a chance for their enrichment and your professional development. Hopefully you will have the local retailers who sell rockets that are still open, at least enough to "pick up curbside," but if not there are many vendors online for shopping and delivery. Rockets need only household tools for assembly-white glue, sandpaper, tape, items you probably already have.  In an day of concentrated effort and you will have your bird completed. There are plenty of videos online for help https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sxQ7vGgXx5Y, or see https://www.nar.org/educational-resources/model-rocket-building-techniques/. Then you can explore how to use the rocket in your class. There are resources at https://www.nar.org/educational-resources/. By the time the weather gets warmer you'll be able to go out and fly, hopefully with your class or a rocket club. The national crisis upon us will pass and we will have clear skies again. Let's build for that day!

Combine any of these (or add your own suggestions) with CAP's two Astronomy STEM Books for a winning AE lesson. (AE Downloads and Resources)  https://www.capnhq.gov/CAP.AEDownloads.Web/

1. Ever wondered what objects are up in the sky? Now you can get familiar with Astronomy by identifying stars, planets, and constellations. Also look up deep sky objects from the Messier and NGC catalogs. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details…

2. Like the others, point this at the sky to see what's above you. But then, when you're done, point it down on the ground to get a view of the sky on the other side of the world. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details…

3. You don't need to be an astronomer to find stars or constellations in the sky, just open SkyView® Free and let it guide you to their location and identify them. SkyView Free is a beautiful and intuitive stargazing app that uses your camera to precisely spot and identify celestial objects in sky, day or night. Find popular constellations as they fade in and out while you scan across the sky, locate planets in our solar system, discover distant galaxies, and witness satellite fly-bys.

Features:

• • Simple: Point your device at the sky to identify galaxies, stars, constellations, planets, and satellites (including the ISS and Hubble) passing overhead at your location.
  • Night Mode: Preserve your night vision with red or green night mode filters.
  • Augmented Reality (AR): Use your camera to spot objects in the sky, day or night.
  • Sky Paths: Follow the sky track for any object to see it’s exact location in the sky on any date and time.
  • Time Travel: Jump to the future or the past and see the sky on different dates and times.
  • Social: Capture and share beautiful images with friends and family on social networks.
  • Mobile: WiFi is NOT required (does not require a data signal or GPS to function). Take it camping, boating, or even flying!
  • Supports Space Navigator™ binoculars, spotting scope, and telescopes.

What a fun way to teach yourself, your children, your students, or your cadets about our wonderful universe! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details…

4. Come explore with NASA and discover the latest images, videos, mission information, news, feature stories, tweets, NASA TV and featured content with the NASA app. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=gov.nasa

Classroom Grants provide opportunities for teachers to supplement their lesson plans with hands-on STEM activities that engage students in creative and innovative projects. The program is a great resource for teachers to turn to for activities assistance; each school year $250 and $500 grants are awarded to up to 40 teachers.

Philip Morrison Powers of Ten 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ww4gYNrOkkg 

The film begins with an overhead view of a man and woman picnicking in a park at the Chicago lakefront — a one-meter- square overhead image of the figures on a blanket surrounded by food and books they brought with them, one of them being The Voices of Time by J. T. Fraser. The viewpoint, accompanied by expository voiceover by Philip Morrison, then slowly zooms out to a view ten meters across (or 10¹ m in scientific notation). The zoom-out continues (at a rate of one power of ten per 10 seconds), to a view of 100 meters (10² m) then 1 kilometer (10³ m) (where we see the entirety of Chicago), and so on, increasing the perspective and continuing to zoom out to a field of view of 10 ²⁴ meters, or the size of the observable universe. The camera then zooms back in at a rate of a power of ten per 2 seconds to the picnic, and then slows back down to its original rate into the man's hand, to views of negative powers of ten—10⁻¹ m (10 centimeters), and so forth, revealing a skin cell and zooming in on it—until the camera comes to quarks in a proton of a carbon atom at 10⁻¹⁶ meter.[1]

Gliders

STEM Takes Flight

A standards-based, cloud-based virtual modeling STEM application that guides students through an engaging, realistic glider development process capped by a very cool Airshow -- all before building their actual gliders.. Students actually design and later actually construct an actual working model. What's not to like? Check out the included link and be sure to watch the video.

Here's a fun video of a guy who attached a leaf blower to a home-built radio-controlled plane and made it fly!  Some good engineering-design principles described in the video.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMvppuS_ehg&list=PLZVdqFj3-yFslLa3UJ4Bhia5Fsa4pCpLn

Redbird - A series of class started but jump in any time.

Amid school closures caused by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we've decided to launch an online series of the Redbird STEM+ Lab. The STEM+ Lab will feature interactive classes for students in middle school and high school. Beginning on March 31st, Redbird’s STEM Director Greg Roark will lead students through six virtual classes aimed at engaging their creativity and continuing to foster their interests in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) outside the classroom.

We'll hold the classes weekly, and students will be able to view or review video recordings of each class any time after they are released. A flight simulator is not required to participate, but students are encouraged to use their Redbird simulator or any flight simulation software that is accessible in their home.

Where to airlines part their planes when they are not flying?  This will give you a sense of how much we are not flying. It is a good chance for non-pilots to practice understanding radio call and airport markings. How soon can  you spot the destination airport?      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zIbXai0l174&feature=share&fbclid=IwAR0kwBklbEIGw6XT-aM9mukbiyd1yoaSIcwNmYYVKiQG5jCb2OFSOBS5iFw

            How will they effect air power?

Don’t fire an RPG if there are drones around:  A C-130 had just made an aerial supply drop (unknown what country this was in, but likely the Middle East) when it was fired upon by “bad guys” with a Rocket-Powered Grenade (RPG).  This was all caught by on camera by an MQ-9 Reaper drone flying “top cover” for the C-130.  Fortunately, the RPG missed the C-130, but the Reaper operators alerted the Joint Terminal Attack Controller, who approved them to “prosecute” the target.  https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/32925/militants-fire-rpg-at-c-130-then-an-mq-9-reaper-crew-promptly-locates-tracks-and-kills-them
