Cosmic Quest Week of 10/09/2005 http://www.childrensmuseum.org/cosmicquest/index.html This is a three-level, interactive site developed and produced by Educational Web Adventures for the Children's Museum of Indianapolis. "NASA and the Russian space agency have spent over forty years solving the problems of living in space. Can you match wits with their engineers and design a human habitat as good as the new International Space Station? Here is the start of your space station. It's really just an aluminum can. You need to make it habitable. First, focus on the basics. Then try to improve your space station so you can really work and live there for a long time! " Teacher materials round out the site. Rating: A fun activity for middle school students!
