Title: Brevard Community College - Aerospace Program Technology Curriculum Resource Packet PDF
Url: http://teched.dadeschools.net/STEM/Resources%20for%20Rocket%20Making/B...
Publisher: SpaceTEC
Description: This resource packet was developed out of a groundbreaking partnership. The SpaceTEC National Center of Excellence, located at the Kennedy Space Center and managed by Brevard Community College, provided the catalyst for the development of this packet. Chartered to bring "Schools to Space" and "Space to Schools", SpaceTEC, in conjunction with the Aerospace Technology program at Brevard Community College (BCC), decided to explore this partnership with the NASA Education Office at the Kennedy Space Center. All three partners discovered how we could share and distribute space related curriculum into the local public schools.



The initial concept emerged from an Aerospace Technology Workshop that was sponsored by Brevard Community College in May 2003 in cooperation with the NASA Education Office at the Kennedy Space Center. Approximately twenty Brevard County math, science, and technology teachers participated in a two-day session where they were introduced to aerospace related experiments and took part in aerospace technology-based seminars. From this program, two very excited technology teachers agreed to partner with BCC, SpaceTEC, and the NASA Education Office to assist with the compilation and development of these technology related experiments.



The result of this partnership is an easy-to-use booklet that provides listings of all the necessary materials and step-by-step instructions on how to conduct the experiments in a classroom or laboratory environment. The experiments range from ones that require some upfront construction and preparation to many that require little or no preparation. Also, we have included the National Science, Math and Technology Standards that are attributed to each of the experiments. Each instructor can easily convert from the National to State Standards based on which state they are located. Therefore, this resource packet can be utilized and distributed by all of the SpaceTEC partners across the nation.



This was a superb and forward thinking effort that began as a workshop and ended as an excellent resource to assist teachers in adding space-related subjects to their curriculum. We have tried to encapsulate all of the acknowledgements and special thanks following this foreword and hopefully have included everyone that was involved. We only hope this is one of many multi-agency partnerships that will continue to bring "Schools to Space" and "Space to Schools".
