STEM Next has created a career-connected learning activity bundle specifically for afterschool programs, where youth explore how the heart, blood, and circulatory system work—and how these systems are affected by gravity on Earth and in space. Throughout the three one-hour activity sessions, youth apply science and engineering practices, use math to identify patterns, and learn about careers that support astronaut health and fitness. Adapted from NASA eClips, these lessons connect Earth and Space Learning with Health and Life Sciences and support grades 4th–8th.
