This publication in the "Space in the Seventies" series describes current status and future plans for "working" spacecraft, also called "application satellites." These spacecraft serve the needs of communications, meteorology, geodesy, and navigation. They also enable us to study earth resources from space. Many scientific and technical concepts…

Evaluation of a project that provided flight instruction to inner-city junior high school students showed that former project youths are demonstrably better off than controls in the areas of employment, avoidance of deviant behavior, and advanced education. (MLH)

Describes a high school geography course in which the class participates in five airplane flights to cover five major areas of local geography. (MLH)

Describes ways that orbiting satellites carrying amateur radios can be used in the classroom at various grade levels to supplement physics, mathematics, electronics, and social science curricula. (MLH)

Data from questionnaires indicated that the Tennessee Aerospace Education Workshops were successful in reaching their stated goals, which included developing a greater awareness of aerospace education and helping teachers incorporate more aerospace education in classroom activities. (MLH)

A variety of teaching resources are described. Included are magazines, books, model rockets, TV programs, and films. (RH)

Describes the organization and activities of 16 different aviation classes, workshops, and groups about the United States. Projects range from flight training activities to the construction of a small, one-man airplane. (SL)

Included are four pages for an instructional workbook including ideas for basic activities, a data collection game, and a biology project relating to the field of aviation and space science. (SL)

Traces contribution to teaching effectiveness and curriculum design, occurring since 1950, and presents a format for modifying the developments made in other disciplines to aerospace education. Included is an example of an inquiry lesson dealing with parachutes. (SL)

Describes construction of an inexpensive wind tunnel and a water manometer; experiments with model airplanes; and the calibration of the manometer and its use to measure wind velocity and lift on an airplane wing. Additional experiments with an electric fan are suggested. Diagrams are included. (GH)

The booklet contains information about an experimental space science survey course which explores the tools and methods used to study space. Included are a list of 22 performance objectives, an outline of the content in the course, lists of experiments, demonstrations, and projects for the course and the books in which these are to be found, a…

Discusses a summer program for disadvantaged junior and senior high school students intended to offer career education in aviation. The program included flight and ground school and simulator instruction. (MLH)

Explores in a non-mathematical treatment some of the hydrodynamical phenomena and forces that affect the operation of ships, especially at high speeds. Discusses the major components of ship resistance such as the different types of drags and ways to reduce them and how to apply those principles for the hovercraft. (GA)
