On July 11, 2007 five educators from the Houston Independent School District and the Goose Creek Consolidated Independent School District met at Wyle Laboratories with the NASA Johnson Space Center Human Research Program Educator/NASA Sports and Education Project Lead. The purpose of the meeting was to develop educational materials related to Sports and Exploration. This group of educators had been previously exposed to subject matter experts in the fields of soccer by the Houston Dynamo and exploration by members of the NASA Johnson Space Center Constellation Office to complete a series of hands-on, inquiry-based, physical science activities for elementary audiences. The eight-hour working session yielded a series of lessons on gravity, and materials analysis related to the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) fields, and updated previously developed activities from the 2July2007 working session.
Attendees included Beth Banks of GCCISD, and Rosalinda Castillo, Tricia Moncur, Jose Prieto, and Lorena Moore of HISD.
