Following the scientific method, students will gather research, conduct experiments using different sized sails, and record their findings. Students will then watch as crew on board the ISS complete identical experiments and provide additional data students will use to prove their hypothesis.
Students are then invited to draw connections between the experiments and decide which environment provided better results.
Topics covered include gearing down, forces, friction, renewable energy (wind), air resistance, and pressure.
