Give guidance and feedback to students' plans, encouraging, refining, and helping them to be responsible for their own learning. Maintain high expectations for completion of chosen options. Summarize by reviewing the whole, bringing students "full circle" to the experience with which the learning began.

Students design space stations.

Objective: To have students learn about gyroscopic space platforms where humans could live and work.

Activity: Students will investigate several NASA publications available through the Government Printing Office which identify plans for humankind in space. They should focus their research on space and its potential products. (NASA SPIN-OFF PRODUCT BOOKS ARE AVAILABLE FROM THE GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE) As a result of their research, student groups will design space stations which will satisfy living and research needs which they believe are important.

Assessment: The level of student involvement; the design plans for construction of a space station model.
