Lost in Space: Bone Density

Exploring Space Through Math presents an investigation of the risks of increased loss of bone mineral density, or BMD, when the body is in the reduced gravity of space compared to Earth's 1-g environment. Students learn about slope, explore y-intercept and solve linear equations.
