Description

Classroom programs are classroom versions of our assembly programs under the same name allowing more topic detail, student focus and classroom activities. Kids will be encouraged to learn more about astronomy through NASA pictures, videos, and through this science-based program presentation. How do astronauts live in space and make long voyages? What do they eat? How do they drink and survive in space? What is it like to live and work on the space station? Human needs have not changed for centuries. As mankind returns to the moon and voyages to MARS and beyond, they will need to transport nourishment and materials on their trips. This program is a first-person live presentation engaging kids with food science and ways NASA and other space agencies around the world are preparing for these missions. The program teaches about food storage, different methods of energy used in food preparation, and the history of American astronauts into orbit, shuttle missions, current day space stations, and future voyages. Chefsville brings space food packaged for space station use. Presentation reveals facts about past missions to orbit, current day space stations, and future trips to the Moon, Mars and solar system. The presentation explains the methods of how plants are grown in space, and how water and air are recycled. Kids will be thrilled to see the latest innovations for human sustainability of needs in space and on other planets. Chef will do a cooking demonstration with students participation to make a dish served in space.

Students Will
