1 SPACE SUIT CHALLENGE MEDIA DAY ACTIVITY DISCUSSION GUIDE Campers will need the following materials for this activity. Copy paper (20 lbs/75gsm weight) Card stock (110 lb weight) Construction paper (heavy duty, 76 lbs weight) Wax paper (Reynolds Cut-Rite) Aluminum foil (Reynolds Heavy Duty; 12 in wide) Transparency film Foam sheet (2 mm thick) File folder Masking tape Duct tape Ruler Scissors Pencil Goggles PRE-MEDIA DAY (Activities) In order to make the best use of the two hours devoted to Media Day, please complete the activities listed below (1 7) before Media Day. Please do not provide details (except for those included in steps 4 and 5 below) on the Media Day activity. 1. Introduce the concept of force and motion. 2. Use a vocabulary strategy such as the Frayer model to introduce the following terms: force, motion, speed, velocity, energy, kinetic energy, and work. (The Frayer Model is a graphical organizer used for word analysis and vocabulary building. This four-square model prompts students to think about and describe the meaning of a word or concept by (1) Defining the term, (2) Describing its essential characteristics, (3) Providing examples of the idea, and (4) Offering non-examples of the idea. For more information and a template, go to 3. Group campers into teams of 5 or 6 for pre-media and media day activities. (This is an opportunity for you to let the campers take part in the team assignment.) 4. Give the teams the swatch materials, a copy of the Material Order Form (p. 5) and a copy of the Materials Properties Chart (p. 6). Tell the campers that they will make a swatch for the sleeve of a space suit on media day using these materials. Have the teams brainstorm and decide which materials they will purchase on media day and the order in which each material will be placed. The Engineering Design Process ( could be used at this time. For more information on the engineering design process, go to html. 5. Have the teams complete the Material Order Form including the Explain Your Choices. 6. Collect the order forms and return them to the teams on media day. 7. Read the Explain Your Choices and award points prior to media day. These points will be added to the Score Card on media day. Refer to page 9 for Media Day tips. 1
2 If time permits, you could do one or more of the following. 1. Discuss and/or do a lab experiment on Newton s first and second laws of motion. Four other terms would be introduced: potential energy, inertia, acceleration and mass. 2. Discuss density and do a density experiment. This will also be good time to talk about Archimedes Principle. 3. Have the campers do the Pea Shooter Meteoroids Lab located at ( 4. Show the video located at: 5. Demonstrate Newton s third law of motion. Then, ask the campers how this law is applied in space. What s the Science? We know from experience that if a moving car crashes into a parked car, both cars would be damaged. A force exerted over a distance is needed to damage the cars. Work is done when a force is exerted through a distance (W = FD). The moving car was able to do work. Therefore, a moving car will be damaged as well as a parked car because it was in motion. The kind of energy due to motion is called kinetic energy. Ask the campers to give other examples. (Possible answers: A hammer driving a nail into wood. A batter hits a baseball. Falling water) We also know from experience that the greater the speed of a moving car the greater the damage (or work done) when it hits a parked car. So we can say that the greater the speed of an object the greater its kinetic energy. Ask the campers if more damage would be done in a head-on collision between two heavy trucks or between two cars if the trucks and the cars were traveling at the same speed. Answer: There would be more damage to the trucks because the trucks have a greater mass than the cars. Therefore we can say that the greater the mass of an object, the greater its kinetic energy. Ask the campers how damages to a car or truck during a collision are reduced. Answer: Air bags, seat belts, padded steering wheel, and other materials that act as shock absorbers Key Concepts 1. Kinetic Energy can be defined as energy of motion. In other words, the energy of a moving object is called kinetic energy. 2. The kinetic energy of an object depends on the mass of the object as well as the (speed) velocity of the object. 3. Kinetic energy is closely linked with the concept of work. To give an object kinetic energy you must do work on it. 4. The greater the speed and mass of an object the greater is its kinetic energy. 5. A force causing an object to move one way is met with an equal and opposite force in the other direction. 2
3 MEDIA DAY TIPS 1. Make one copy of the Material Order Form, the Materials Properties Chart and Scorecard per team. 2. Have a materials table and a scoring table. 3. Have a central place for the teams to place unused materials and other supplies (goggles, pencils, etc.) after making their swatch. (Tote trays work well for this purpose.) 4. Assign staff/volunteers to one of the following: a. Material Managers will be responsible for giving the teams the materials they want to purchase and distribute the safety goggles, scissors, pencils and rulers. Having precut materials will go faster. Have meter sticks and rulers available for the Materials Managers. b. Monitors will walk around the room to monitor the progress of the teams and manage the line to the testing site. c. Test Assistants will help teams with the testing of their swatch. d. Scorers will determine the teams score or help teams determine their score. Have paper, pencils and calculators available for the scorers. e. Time Keeper will keep time and announce to the teams how much time is remaining. MEDIA DAY (Scenario - To be included in the ExxonMobil Rock Star Presentation) On the February 2, 1995 launch of Discovery, Dr. Bernard Harris and five other astronauts began the first flight of a new joint Russian-American Space Program. Their mission was to rendezvous with Mir, the Russian Space Station, to ensure the station was prepared to safely dock spacecraft for future missions and to deploy a satellite to gather scientific data. The mission also included testing modifications made to their space suits. It was shortly after 6:00 a.m. CST on February 9 th when Dr. Harris was lifted out of the payload bay on the robot arm to perform a 4 hour, 39 minute spacewalk. After an hour and a half, Dr. Harris had completely orbited the Earth and the temperature dropped from 93 degree Celsius (200 degrees Fahrenheit) to negative 109 degrees Celsius (negative 165 degrees Fahrenheit). It was negative 29 degrees Celsius (negative 20 degrees Fahrenheit) inside his suit! Imagine standing outside in negative 20 degrees weather without a warm coat! This spacewalk made Dr. Harris the first African American to walk in space. The data he collected during this extravehicular activity (EVA) has been used to refine and develop spacewalk techniques and systems for other shuttle and International Space Station EVAs. Dr. Harris logged 198 hours, 29 minutes in space, completed 129 orbits, and traveled over 2.9 million miles on this his second space flight. In a recent interview, Dr. Harris stated that a space suit is one of the most precious pieces of equipment an astronaut can have. Space suits are necessary. The suit protects us from the environment, which is sometimes extremely hot, or, extremely cold, Harris explained. Over the past few months, the International Space Station astronauts have noticed an increase in micrometeoroids, another hazard astronauts experience during space walks. Micrometeoroids are small pieces of rock often the size of a grain of sand. You might think that a small piece of rock the size of a grain of sand wouldn t harm an astronaut; however, often times these micrometeoroids are traveling at 40 kilometers-per-second! This is about 90,000 miles per hour or 150 times faster than a typical passenger jet. An astronaut struck by a micrometeoroid could 3
4 be severely injured. Space suits must be constructed to protect astronauts from extreme temperatures and be resistant to these impacts. In fact, there is an essential layer included in all space suits that absorbs and dissipates the kinetic energy of micrometeoroids. ILC Dover, a company that produces space suits for NASA is calling for space suits that are capable of withstanding the impact of micrometeoroids. Your team s challenge is to create a swatch for the sleeve of a space suit that will protect astronauts from the increase in micrometeoroids. MEDIA DAY (Introduction of the Activity) The Executive Camp Director or the Camp Program Director or camp designee should introduce the activity using the accompanying PowerPoint provided. Teams will need the Materials Order Form they completed in pre-media Day activities. What Happened? Ask each team to discuss the strengths and weaknesses of their design. (If time is limited, have the winning team discuss the strengths and weaknesses of their design.) Materials What factors did you consider while constructing your swatch? If an astronaut wore a space suit make from your swatch on a spacewalk, would he/she be adequately protected from micrometeoroids? Why? Why not? If an astronaut wore a space suit made from your swatch on a spacewalk, would he/she be adequately protected from extreme temperatures? Why? Why not? Scientists & Teamwork On a daily basis, scientists use teamwork to come up with ideas and strategies; what were some of the ideas your team came up with and how did you strategize? Did your team create a cost-effective suit? Why or Why not? MAKE COPIES OF PAGES 7 AND 8 FOR THE CAMPERS TO USE ON MEDIA DAY Campers will need pages 5 and 6 for the pre-media Day activities. Page 9 is the scoring sheet. 4
