Iowa Educators check out this great resource to one of the most asked questions…. Where can I find NASA materials to use in my lessons?

In the 1960s, NASA commissioned a study to understand how to identify and nurture genius-level creativity for their hiring processes. They enlisted George Land and his team to explore what constitutes a genius. To investigate this, Land developed a creativity test and administered it to a group of five-year-old children. Genius was defined as the ability to use creative imagination to solve problems. Astonishingly, 98% of these five-year-olds qualified as geniuses based on the test results. When retested at age 10, only 30% of the same group scored at the genius level. By age 15, this number had further dropped to 12%. Observing this significant decline, George Land extended his research to adults and found that only 2% qualified as geniuses in creativity. He attributed this dramatic decrease to the effects of formal education, suggesting that uncreative behavior and thinking are learned over time.

Are you ready for this year’s NASA TechRise Student challenge: https://buff.ly/3RXQdvo ? From researching Earth’s environment to designing experiments for lunar and planetary exploration, schools are invited to join NASA in its mission to inspire the world through discovery. If you are in sixth to 12th grade at a U.S. public, private, or charter school – including those in U.S. territories – your challenge is to team up with your schoolmates and develop a science or technology experiment idea for one of the following NASA TechRise flight vehicles: - High-Altitude Balloon with approximately four hours of flight time at 70,000 feet and exposure to Earth’s atmosphere, high-altitude radiation, and perspective views of our planet - Rocket-Powered Lander?that will fly for approximately two minutes at an altitude of 80 ft (~25 m) over a test field designed to look like the Moon’s surface A total of 60 winning teams will be selected to build their proposed experiment. Each winning team will be awarded: - $1,500 to build their experiment - A flight box in which to build it - An assigned spot to test their experiment on a NASA-sponsored flight - Technical support during the experiment build phase from Future Engineers advisors, who will help students learn the skills they need to turn their experiment idea into reality. Note that no experience is necessary to participate in the NASA TechRise Challenge!

Day 2 of #NCAS2024Explore?Mission 2: go! My incredible team, Artemis Skylab Red (ASR), and I have chosen to go to the Moon over Mars! We are responsible for paying close attention to adapting to Space and/or working in zero/near-zero gravity so we are all about human flight here at ASR and we could not in good conscious send our simulated astronauts to Mars without a strong longer-term more recent mission to the moon. We are following the lead of NASA's Johnson Space Center's clear priority of human health and safety and making communication and system redundancy as we assess our budget and plans for scientific return. #MUREP If you are a community college student, or know someone who is, applications for Mission 1 are open for the fall! https://lnkd.in/dRM-W7jf

Dr. Amos Ariny (Astronomer) or NASA Astronaut flight engineer 1984- Present; Nicolaus Copernicus[b]?(19 February 1473?– 24 May 1543) was a?Renaissance?polymath, active as a mathematician, astronomer, and?Catholic?canon, who formulated a?model?of?the universe?that placed?the Sun rather than Earth?at its center. In all likelihood, Copernicus developed his model independently of?Aristarchus of Samos, an ancient Greek astronomer who had formulated such a model some eighteen centuries earlier.[6][c][d][e] The publication of Copernicus's model in his book?De revolutionibus orbium coelestium?(On the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres), just before his death in 1543, was a major event in the?history of science, triggering the?Copernican Revolution?and making a pioneering contribution to the?Scientific Revolution. A?polyglot?and?polymath, he obtained a?doctorate in canon law?and was a mathematician, astronomer,?physician,?classics scholar,?translator,?governor,?diplomat, and?economist. From 1497 he was a?Warmian?Cathedral chapter?canon. In 1517 he derived a?quantity theory of money—a key concept in economics—and in 1519 he formulated an economic principle that later came to be called?Gresham's law In?mathematics, the?Pythagorean theorem?or?Pythagoras' theorem?is a fundamental relation in?Euclidean geometry?between the three sides of a?right triangle. It states that the area of the?square?whose side is the?hypotenuse?(the side opposite the?right angle) is equal to the sum of the areas of the squares on the other two sides. The?theorem?can be written as an?equation?relating the lengths of the sides?a,?b?and the hypotenuse?c, sometimes called the?Pythagorean equation: ??2+??2=??2. The theorem can be?generalized?in various ways: to?higher-dimensional spaces, to?spaces that are not Euclidean, to objects that are not right triangles, and to objects that are not triangles at all but?n-dimensional?solids. A recent paper may help explain why a portable chemistry lab on NASA’s Curiosity rover has continually sniffed out traces of the gas near the surface of Gale Crater. The most surprising revelation from NASA’s Curiosity Mars Rover — that methane is seeping from the surface of Gale Crater — has scientists scratching their heads. Living creatures produce most of the methane on Earth. But scientists haven’t found convincing signs of current or ancient life on Mars, and thus didn’t expect to find methane there.the portable chemistry lab aboard Curiosity, known as SAM, or Sample Analysis at Mars,. Its likely source, scientists assume, are geological mechanisms that involve water and rocks deep underground. https://lnkd.in/daSckkVQ Website;https;//www.Facebook.com/aamor9.
