The International Space Station (ISS)
How is life onboard the International Space Station (ISS) and what does it look like on the inside? Here is a pretty amazing and informative video of 28 minutes (60 MB) of what it is like. With this type of video, it is so easy to understand Newton's laws of motion for example. Just imagine how learners in a previous dispensation had to rely only on their imagination to understand aspects of the first law for example. Now they can "see" it happens. My thanks to the Facebook page of Boyden Observatory and the Naval Hill Planetarium for the video. Click here for the video and click here for more information about the ISS.
