In this one-time class, students will learn facts about the International Space Station, what it's like to live and work in space, and what astronauts do onboard. How big is the International Space Station (ISS)? What do astronauts do on the ISS? How fast does the ISS travel while orbiting earth? What do astronauts eat in space? Learn answers to these question and so many more! Using visuals, (photos, slides and videos) students will stay engaged as we explore what it's like to live on the ISS. Students will also learn how they can see the ISS from their own backyard. Questions and discussion is encouraged, but not mandatory. See you soon! Mrs. Cristina

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary
Hi! My name is Cristina and I am an Astronomy and Meteorology teacher. I have been an educator for over a decade, having earned a Bachelor's degree in Christian Ministry with a minor in Psychology and Counseling. I am a certified severe storm spotter for both the National Weather Service and the Spotter Network, and am proud to be a NASA Social alumni. Additionally, I serve as a Solar System Ambassador for NASA/JPL, allowing me to share the latest astronomy events with my community.
In my role as a science communicator, I've had the honor of sharing space-related updates for numerous years, affording me the opportunity to distribute information about space across various social media platforms. Additionally, I was selected by Lockheed Martin as a space influencer for the OSIRIS-REx asteroid mission. These experiences have not only enriched my understanding of current space developments but also enabled me to impart this knowledge within my Outschool classes.
Science, particularly Meteorology and Astronomy, have always been a passion of mine and I strive to make learning about it enjoyable for students.
A fun fact about me: I can solve a Rubik's cube in under 90 seconds. In my free time, I enjoy reading and baking cookies. I look forward to teaching your learner in the classroom!Reviews
