  2. NASA • President Dwight D. Eisenhower established the National Aeronautics and Space Administration in 1958, partially in response to the Soviet Union's launch of the first artificial satellite the previous year. NASA grew out of the National Advisory Committee on Aeronautics (NACA), which had been researching flight technology for more than 40 years.

  3. NASA FOR EDUCATORS • It all starts here: • http://www.nasa.gov/audience/foreducators/index.html • Hubble Images: • http://amazing-space.stsci.edu/gallery/ • EXPLORING SPACE THROUGH MATH SERIES • http://www.nasa.gov/audience/foreducators/exploringmath/home/index.html

  4. CONNECT TO 5 e’S • Bone Density Example • http://www.nasa.gov/audience/foreducators/exploringmath/algebra1/Prob_BoneDensity_detail.html • Educator guide- • http://www.nasa.gov/pdf/516064main_ALG_ED_BoneDensity%2012-23-10.pdf • Student Activity • http://www.nasa.gov/pdf/516065main_ALG_ST_BoneDensity%2012-23-10.pdf
