The Effects of Microgravity on the Human Body Audio Presentation

For this assignment I will need to create a 5-8 audio presentation answering questions that I will
attach below. Please write out everything and I will then record what is written. I will attach all resources and
grade scoring guide.
RESOURCES AND INSTRUCTIONS
For this assignment, imagine you are an astronaut traveling with fellow astronauts and are about to embark on
a mission to the International Space Station. Your family and friends will have many questions about your
journey. To prepare for their questions, you create a presentation to explain the effects of gravity or
weightlessness on you and your fellow astronauts.
The deliverable for this assignment is to create a 5-8 minute audio presentation to explain the effects of gravity
or weightlessness on you and your fellow astronauts.
Part 1: Analysis
Review the following in the Astronomy ebook:
Chapter 3, “Orbits and Gravity,” sections 3.1–3.8.
Chapter 4, “Earth, Moon, and Sky,” sections 4.1–4.9.
Review the following website:
NASA, Glenn Research Center. (2018). Zero gravity research facility Retrieved from
https://www1.grc.nasa.gov/facilities/zero-g/
Draft a presentation that addresses the following:
What is weightlessness?
Will you be weightless on the International Space Station?
What are some specific effects of weightlessness on the human body?
What are some specific methods being explored to mitigate the weightlessness problem?
Part 2: Presentation
Using your draft from Part 1, record a 5–8 minute audio presentation in which you effectively explain the effects
of gravity or weightlessness on you and your fellow astronauts’ human bodies during your journey through
space on the International Space Station. Your audience for this presentation will be family and friends who will
have questions about your journey.
