Physicists researching the strange behavior of fluids onboard the International Space Station have invented a zero-g coffee cup to make the morning "cuppa Joe" a little easier to swallow. FULL STORY: http://science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2013/15jul_coffeecup/ VIDEO: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZYsOG60dKQ The science news is always pertinent and may be adapted to many different lessons at various levels.

Patricia, Thanks for sharing about the coffee cup on the ISS. That was very interesting. It is amazing the discoveries that are made because of space travel!! These Spinoffs are interesting to follow. Betty

Hi Patricia. This is super neat. I may show to my summer school class, tomorrow! Thanks for thinking of us! j

I'm hoping to take my 5th graders up in space on the next shuttle.... wait! They scrubbed the shuttle launches didn't they? ; )

Hi Scott. Great thought. How about Bungee cords? "To da moon, Alice" (You're probably too young to remember Ralph Kramden...)

Patricia, thanks for those awesome links.

I teach High School Earth/Environmental Science. I realize I have a curriculum to follow from the state (North Carolina), but how do I choose the BEST activities that will cover the basics the students need to learn?! I feel like there's SO MUCH for Astronomy, and they ask us to "teach it" in like 10 days!!!

Can't wait to share these links with my colleagues back at school! Great collection...
