Pre-Service teachers enrolled in Modern Mathematics I & II, Physical Science, and Life Science I & II at Texarkana College and a variety of science courses at Texas A&M University -Texarkana are learning about the vast scientific research work being done by NASA.  Scientific pursuits are characterized by a common pursuit of  discovery through universal natural physical laws and mathematically based logic.  Problem solving and critical thinking skills are needed by all students most especially our future teachers in tomorrow's classrooms. Our students are preparing for their teaching careers by investigating problems along with NASA's scientists that face the human race as we look toward the heavens and explore the universe.
