10.15.08 - Students will design, test, analyze and manage a space mission from initial concept to project funding while using this set of hands-on activities.
10.15.08 - Students use inquiry-based learning to understand complex systems as they work in teams to design a self-sufficient lunar station. Each team will have two tasks with specific objectives to complete.
10.07.08 - Through the S'COOL project, students report basic weather observations to NASA by recording the type and features of clouds in the sky at the time that a satellite passes over their location.
10.07.08 - Each poster from the Earth Observing System project explains what NASA scientists are doing to understand a specific topic -- air, water, land and ice. Download or order the posters.
09.30.08 - In this lab activity, students compare Earth soil to simulated Martian soil. Students collect and examine soil samples, just as NASA's Phoenix Mars Mission collects samples on the Red Planet.
09.16.08 - Join the Digital Learning Network for a series of introductions to NASA Education resources. The first webcast of the series on Sept. 24, 2008, is a look at new Hubble-related materials.
09.09.08 - In this lesson plan using NASA data, students examine authentic sea surface temperature data to explore how hurricanes extract heat energy from the ocean surface.
09.09.08 - Ten video clips from NASA SCIFiles explore cloud formation, tropical storms, hurricanes and hurricane hunters. Visit NASA scientists to learn about the causes and consequences of hurricanes.
09.03.08 - Students can start planning their futures. Activities, articles and resources on this page encourage students to set goals and learn about some of the many careers at NASA.
08.19.08 - Students can construct a simple refracting telescope with a few materials.
