Open to all teachers!! Painted lady butterflies also will go to ISS on Atlantis next week. Complete instructions for using this with students can be found on BioEd Online (www.bioedonline.org) and K8 Science (www.k8science.org) free-of-charge. Photos from space will be made available on the site for students to use for their own research questions.

This is real science for kids!!

Cute avatar. Is she really Andorian?
I can remember the spiders that went aboard Skylab in the seventies. It took them a couple of tries to build a web that looked anything like the ones they would build on Earth.

I’d be really interested in how they fly in zero gravity seeing as they wouldn’t need to produce lift. I suppose if they’re ‘born’ like that though they won’t know any different.

Bug Girl? Does she have six legs?

Watch out, those butterflies may absorb ‘cosmic radiation’ and turn into Mothra (now, all we need is tiny twins)
