8:20AM-8:30AM	Mission Orientation – This Week is Space Week at our school.  For the entire week we will be focusing on the US Space Program and the Space Travel. Begin with the Solar System and review the 9 planets.  Explain that our Solar System is one of thousands in our Galaxy and our Galaxy is but one of many thousand. So there are a lot of places for us explore! Show video One.  http://video.nationalgeographic.com/video/kids/science-space-kids/solar-system-101-kids/ Next help students understand the History of the Space Program Shuttle - View Video on Prometheon http://video.nationalgeographic.com/video/kids/science-space-kids/space-shuttle-sci-kids/
8:55AM-9:35AM	Introduce students to the International Space Station (ISS). Explain that the Space Station is a research laboratory that remains in space and is always manned by astronauts.  View Live Video from the ISS @ http://www.ustream.tv/channel/live-iss-stream
Math	Begin your lesson on distance as presented on your Space Week Outline.  Using rulers, yards sticks and or tape measures, have each student measure items and put in perspective and distance starting from an inch up to a mile.
Social Studies	One goal of the space program is to identify places where humans can live.  Engage students in critical thinking by having them identify and explain what conditions might cause humans to live somewhere other  than earth.  After critical writing activity, discuss and use graphic organizers to compare and contrast responses by at least two categories.
