Agnirva Space Premier League - Expedition #30711: Hands-On Science from Space: Education Payload Operation Demonstrations

Imagine watching a ball spin or a candle burn—not in your classroom, but in the weightless environment of space. That’s exactly what students experience through the 'Education Payload Operation-Demonstrations' conducted aboard the International Space Station. This long-running initiative led by NASA’s Teaching From Space Office helps students and teachers witness science in action. By broadcasting live and recorded demonstrations of fundamental scientific principles, astronauts perform experiments that vividly show how microgravity alters familiar processes. Whether it’s Newton’s laws or fluid behavior, students see science come alive in new and unforgettable ways. Spanning over 30 expeditions, this program has impacted generations of learners, making the ISS a living lab for Earth’s classrooms. It bridges the gap between textbooks and experience, fostering deep understanding and curiosity about science, space, and exploration.
