  5. Notes: Space Exploration • People began studying the stars: • Earliest record: Babylonians 1000 BC • To make sense of the world they live in • To understand where we came from & how we were created • To understand “our place” in the universe • To recognize how special Earth is and the importance of taking care of it • To prove/disprove existence of an “intelligent designer”

  12. Grab-N-Trade • Read text in order to fill in notes

  13. Other Space Technology • Flash drives that are scratch and corrosion-resistant • Scanners that examine food safety of chickens • Self-reflecting paint so can see how to escape building or plane • Insulated paint, which lowers heating bill • Memory foam in shoes and mattresses, which make them more comfortable • Crash dummies used to make cars safer

  14. Interactive Website • http://www.nasa.gov/externalflash/nasacity/index2.htm • Add to notes as class explores different examples

  15. Article Reflection • Time limit: 10 min • Read about how space technology is improving lives in developing countries such as Ghana and Nigeria • Answer questions on a SEPARATE SHEET OF PAPER & TURN INTO MS. M!!!!
