Synopsis by Alice Day
In this series, students in grades five through 12 can learn about many aspects of space travel. In Liftoff to Learning: Microgravity, a thorough discussion of the term microgravity is given, with explorations into the four areas of study in which NASA has the most interest. Experiments in a microgravity environment help scientists understand how gravity affects processes on Earth, and will contribute to technological advances in several fields.
