Abstract	A microgravity environment is one that will impart to an object a net acceleration that is small compared with that produced by Earth at its surface. In practice, such acceleration will range from about one percent of Earth's gravitational acceleration to better than one part in a million. this teacher's guide presents an introduction to microgravity, a microgravity primer discusses the fluid state, combustion science, materials science, biotechnology, and microgravity and space flight, and 12 microgravity activities (free fall demonstration; falling water, gravity and acceleration, inertial balance--2 parts, gravity driven fluid flow, candle flames, candle drop, contact angle, fiber pulling, crystal growth and microscopic observation of crystal growth). Each activity contains: the objective, background, procedure and materials needed. Some activities also includes suggested questions and further research. These activities used metric units of measure. A one-page glossary defines words used in microgravity research and 22 microgravity references are provided. The guide is amply illustrated with black and white photographs, diagrams, and drawings. (PR)
