My STS topic is on animal habitats, using lions as the example. The unit investigates living in groups, their life cycle, the food chain, and endangered species. If you think so, explain how. If you think not, tell why. The topic of Star Trek could easily relate to any of these aspects of Earth Science.
Most students are generally inquisitive of the unknown.
In my opinion, one of the strongest reasons for the success of Star Trek is that the show seeks to explain the unknown aspects of the universe in a futuristic setting. This setting strokes the ego of mankind in general. In other words, mankind will travel to the stars one day and find most or all of the answers to life. Students studying astronomy would find the futuristic setting enticing to say the least. Please state whether or not the following statements relate to space science fact or space science fiction.
