NSBRI is transferring the excitement and knowledge learned from the research for human spaceflight through a number of teacher resources for the elementary level all the way up to the college level.<\/p>\n
This\u00a0series of educational units is for use in fourth- through eighth-grade classrooms. The free guides contain activities that allow students to learn about the human body on Earth and in space.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″][vc_single_image image=”334″ img_size=”full” css=”.vc_custom_1434952667049{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
This resource helps students understand not only how the body’s biological clock adjusts during space missions but also the problems humans face when adjusting to jet lag, night work or simply shifting from standard time to daylight-savings time.<\/p>\n
