Solve It for Kids podcast hosts Jennifer and Jeff are taking a break, but please enjoy the BEST of Saving the Environment! Clips from three of our favorite episodes about the environment including: Ep 112- Can You Store Carbon Dioxide in Rocks?, Ep -117 How Can You Save Sea Turtles?, and Ep How Do You Make Clothes Sustainable. Have fun listening and if you want to learn more, findthe original episodes and replay them all over again. #ScienceRocks
You’ve seen NASA send spacecraft to the Moon, Mars, and around many other planets in our solar system, and beyond. But did you ever wonder how these spacecraft are powered? They have to last for many, many years and let’s face it, there isn’t a charging station in space? Well, our guest today knows all about powering spacecraft! Carl Sandifer, manager of the Radioisotope Power Systems Program at NASA Glenn Research Center explains everything. After all, without power, spacecraft can’t do anything. Don’t miss this amazing and intriguing interview.
Yeast is something you probably eat every day (it’s in bread!) but would you ever think about sending it into space? That’s exactly what Dr. Sergio Santa Maria, the lead scientist for NASA Ames BioSentinel program is doing. BioSentinel is NASA’s first biological mission beyond the Earth-Moon system. Their experiment with yeast was launched on the Artemis1 rocket and is now (and forever) flying through space. The goal is to learn how yeast is affected by deep space radiation in hopes of learning how that same radiation might affects humans. Sounds like a cool experiment, doesn’t it? It is! Take a listen.
Did you know that YOU can help with biodiversity? It’s true! Get inspired by Earth Echo International’s program manager, Kasey Gaylord-Opaleski, and youth team leader David Yoon, as they describe all of the amazing ways that kids (of all ages) can help to sustain biodiversity on our planet. Then follow up by doing the challenge described by Earth Echo International. You will be glad that you did as you figure out ways to help our planet.
Have you ever wanted to talk to a spaceship? Well now you can! Human spaceflight developer Rob Chambers, of Lockheed Martin, chats with us about Callisto, a unique vehicle-connected interface that is a collaboration Amazon’s Alexa virtual-assistant, and Webex by Cisco, a video software and collaboration software. Join us for this FANTASTIC conversation about how you can talk to the Orion spaceship as it hurtles towards the Moon in 2022.
People often try to be aware of the impact they are making on the planet. They will make sure to drink out of reusable water bottles, use as little plastic as possible, and even walk instead of driving. But did you ever think about how the clothes you wear affect the planet? If not, you’ll want to listen to our awesome chat with Louise Ulukaya, founder of Mon Couer clothing, as she explains to us how she uses recycled plastic and abandoned fishing lines to make her clothes for kids. You’ll be surprised at all of the science that is involved!
Have you ever wondered how airline pilots land those giant planes? You know the big jumbo jets– or even the small ones? Don’t miss this fun and exciting episode with Guy Wroble, engineer and former airline pilot, who talks to us about physics, weather, and also how the length of the runway plays a part in the landing. You will leave appreciating just how awesome pilots are!
Have you ever watched a sporting event and looked for the science? You should! Sports can’t happen without science, technology, engineering, and math. We have Sean Barton, the Director of Curriculum and Strategy for STEM Sports to talk about just how you can see the STEM in sports! Don’t miss this awesome episode all about sportsscience!
