A special edition of Destination Tomorrow looks back at the first century of powered flight. See how two relatively unknown bicycle makers from Dayton, Ohio beat many of the world's foremost thinkers to become the inventors of the airplane. Correspondent Jennifer Pulley speaks to researchers who are working on new designs that could change air travel. New aircraft shapes, cleaner burning fuels, and new materials could be the first steps in the next revolution of aircraft design.

Program 21 consists of four exciting segments about NASA's Aviation Safety Program. In the "Behind the Scenes" segment, viewers will learn about the Single Aircraft Accident Prevention Program; in the next segment, viewers will learn about crashing airplanes for safety at the Impact Dynamics Research Facility; in the next segment viewers find out about a unique Icing Research Wind Tunnel; and viewers find out Turbulence Detection in the final segment.

When the tree house detectives experience an electrical brownout, they energize into action to learn about Earth's energy budget. The detectives learn that all resources are not created equally and that conservation of nonrenewable and renewable energy is very important.

New discoveries by NASA and a new vision for space exploration create an excitement in the tree house as the detectives set off to learn what it will take to become a space explorer. Join them as they head to Space Camp and NASA to find out if they truly have the "right stuff".

Counting at least 20 objects (last number gives the count), and understanding that if the objects are rearranged the number stays the same.

This interactive tool allows students to gather data using My NASA Data microsets to investigate how differential heating of Earth results in circulation patterns in the oceans and the atmosphere that globally distribute the heat. They examine the relationship between the rotation of Earth and the circular motions of ocean currents and air. Students also make predictions based on the data to concerns about global climate change. They begin by examining the temperature of ocean’s surface currents and ocean surface winds. These currents, driven by the wind, mark the movement of surface heating as monitored by satellites. Students explore the link between 1) ocean temperatures and currents, 2) uneven heating and rotation of Earth, 3) resulting climate and weather patterns, and 4) projected impacts of climate change (global warming). Using the Live Access Server, students can select data sets for various elements for different regions of the globe, at different times of the year, and for multiple years. The information is provided in maps or graphs which can be saved for future reference. Some of the data sets accessed for this lesson include Sea Surface Temperature, Cloud Coverage, and Sea Level Height for this lesson. The lesson provides directions for accessing the data as well as questions to guide discussion and learning. The estimated time for completing the activity is 50 minutes. Inclusion of the Extension activities could broaden the scope of the lesson to several days in length. Links to informative maps and text such as the deep ocean conveyor belt, upwelling, and coastal fog as needed to answer questions in the extension activities are included.

Ramadan is the month-long religious fast observed by Muslims around the world, including right here in Utah. Your Muslim students might need extra support and accommodations during Ramadan, and your other students may express curiosity surrounding this Islamic practice. The Utah Museum of Contemporary Art has partnered with local nonprofit the Emerald Project to create an engaging and authentic resource to help you teach on this topic. 

On this episode of UEN PDTV, Katie Blunt travels to Manti Elementary where computer science specialist, Julia Bratton, demonstrates how she incorporates critical thinking, project-based learning, and computational thinking into her classroom.

On this episode of UEN PDTV, Katie Blunt sits down with Dr. David Joy about his "Mission to Mars" and what he brought back with him to his classroom. We find out about the elements of a Mars simulation, how outdoor education is a passion of David's and how he has created personal learning environments.

Students will learn about various careers related to energy. Students will learn about specific energy careers based on their interests.

For irrigated crops, knowing when and how much water to apply has long been a matter of experience and guesswork. In a changing climate, new technology can reduce this uncertainty, enabling farmers to make every drop of water count.

Ranchers are participating in a pilot project to improve carbon storage and reduce net greenhouse gas emissions. After quantifying their baseline emissions and carbon storage, they implement conservation practices that may let them tap into revenue from voluntary carbon markets.
