The film chronicles a group of explorers -- the Corps of Discovery -- led by Meriwether Lewis and William Clark into uncharted territory to find a water passageway to the Pacific Ocean and describe for science the wonders of the west.
The expedition encountered and conquered an endless series of physical challenges as they traveled through raging rivers, buffalo-filled prairies, sub-zero temperatures and rugged mountains on their 8,000-mile journey to the Pacific Ocean and back. The generosity of Native Americans in helping the explorers is detailed, including the story of Sacagawea, a teen-aged, Native American girl who accompanied the group and whose contributions were invaluable to the success of the expedition.
With careful research and meticulous recreations, this scientific expedition lives again on the big screen. In "Lewis & Clark: Great Journey West," movie-goers will go back 200 years to experience this monumental quest -- the journey of Lewis, Clark and their Corps of Discovery through the adventure, danger and beauty of the unmapped West.

This Earth-Orbiting Laboratory Draws Upon the
Scientific and Technological Experience of 16 Nations.
As astronauts and cosmonauts lift off from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center and Russia’s Baikonur Cosmodrome, students learn first hand what it means to be a space explorer. Space Station 3D allows students to peek in on the daily duties of fellow crew members living and working in space and enjoying humorous moments in the near weightless world of Earth orbit. The ISS is a technical marvel which will have a wing span of 356 feet and a length of 290 feet. Giant solar arrays churn out enough energy to power about 50 average North American homes. ISS is a permanent facility focused on studying the effects of long-duration exposure to microgravity,
which is the first step toward the global, cooperative effort needed to venture out to Mars and beyond.
THE EDUCATOR'S GUIDE INCLUDES LESSON PLANS
