The Science of Sleep and Daily Rhythms Teacher's Guide

The Science of Food and Fitness Teacher's Guide allows students to explore a variety of physical and life science concepts related to energy, metabolism and the role of nutrients in the body, and to examine the connection between cutting-edge research to ensure safe space travel and its benefits for people on Earth.

The teacher-friendly guide provides background information at the beginning of each activity. Clearly stated concepts and skills, a list of required materials and an estimation of time needed to conduct activities provide a quick but efficient snapshot of each lesson. Helpful illustrations are given as aids for planning. Questioning strategies, follow-up extensions and appropriate treatments for student-generated data also are furnished. Blackline masters of student pages are provided.
