Take your students to the International Space Station with NASA astronaut Randy “Komrade” Bresnik. ISS Science is a series of videos produced by the Museum’s STEM in 30 program.
Each video in the series features Bresnik discussing life in space and is followed by a hands-on demonstration that connects these real-world activities to basic science concepts. Designed for middle school educators, each video is accompanied by a lesson plan connected to the NGSS Standards.
New videos for ISS Science will be released throughout Bresnik’s time in space on Expeditions 52 and 53. Come back often to see what’s happening on the International Space Station.
