Shielding Space Radiation
Situation: When astronauts are traveling through space, the space vehicle provides protection from the space debris, which usually can be seen, and space radiation, which cannot be seen. Space debris includes both natural (meteoroid) and artificial (human-made) particles. Space radiation comes from the sun and sources outside the solar system. Like light, space radiation is an energy that can travel in the form of waves or as particles. Space radiation is difficult to block and can damage human tissue. Spacecraft for long space exploration missions, traveling beyond low Earth orbit, must be built with materials that give the space explorer more protection from space radiation than what is currently provided. NASA is developing the Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle to carry the crew to space and protect them during space travel beyond low Earth orbit.
Problem & Career Focus: You will work at NASA’s Space Radiation Health Project (SRHP) research lab, as a member of a two-person team. Your job is to investigate how various materials block simulated space radiation (visible light and ultraviolet light).
Things to consider:
· What are examples of transparent, translucent, and opaque materials?
· What is the relationship between wavelength and the color of light?
· How does light travel?
· Where is visible light in comparison to ultraviolet light and gamma rays (space radiation)? Take a look at the electromagnetic spectrum.

Giant pythons are reproducing at a high rate in the Florida Everglades, threatening local wild life. What is the best way to deal with this invasive species?
What is the impact of the rising python population, and how can we control it?
Analyze the data and examine the impact that the exploding python population is having on other animals in the Florida Everglades. Then, make suggestions for controlling the snake population.
