Program Description
Since the earliest days of flight, women have played a major role inthe history of aviation. From Harriet Quimby and Katherine Stinsonwho's flying careers began just after the Wright brothers' first flightto Eileen Collens piloting the Space Shuttle Discovery, women have madesignificant contributions despite the many obstacles confronting them,to the history of aviation. Explore the contributions made by women,and the obstacles they faced as we discover they impact women have hadon forming the history of aviation. This videoconference is anexcellent way for students to gain an understanding of contributionsmade by women who have helped shape aviation history.
Program Format
The videoconference will provide background information on seven famous women in aviation history. After going over the presentation thestudents will participate in a question and answer game that encourages participation and promotes learning.
Objectives
During this videoconference students will be introduced to the women in aviation history and the contributions they made.Students will be able to match the contributions to the women who made them. Students will gain an understanding of the significant event in history and the rolewomen in aviation have played in them.

Program Description
Here today, Gone Tomorrow…Weathering and Erosion Students will investigate weathering and erosion through exciting hands-on investigations and video clips. They will understand the difference of these earth-changing processes by watching a “Super Hero” video clip that puts it all into perspective. At the end of the connection, the students will take the roll of game show contestants where they will prove that they can climb the $10,000 Pyramid with their scientific knowledge! Grades 4-5
Program Format
1. Introduction, Program Overview2. Weathering…what is it?3. Two types of weathering (Physical and Chemical)4. Each type will be explored with students through experimentation and discussion5. Review of concepts6. Game Time! ($10,000 Pyramid)7. Wrap up!
Objectives
As a result of this interactive lesson, students will:1. Describe how wind, water and ice shape and reshape Earth's land surface by eroding rock and soil in some areas and depositing them in other areas producing characteristic landforms (e.g., dunes, deltas, glacial moraines).2. Identify and describe how freezing, thawing and plant growth reshape the land surface by causing the weathering of rock.3. Describe evidence of changes on Earth's surface in terms of slow processes (e.g., erosion, weathering, mountain building, deposition)
