NASA eEducation Isaland Main Building

Pretty interesting site. As you walk in you approach an information desk with an information book or LTP Info.book. As you touch this book it refers to the various areas you may come across. For example a virtual lab which I thought would be pretty interesting to my middle school students. I proceeded further into the site where I was offered a chance to see the Solar Sstem Ambassador website. This site went on to explain how this program was developed to motivate volunteers across the nation to communicate excitment of JPL's space exploration missions. It too would be interesting to my students because it would bring insite into the behind the scenes of space exploration. I continued until I came across a rocket and took my picture that follows:



Below is the guide I received from a notecard.

NASA Educator Guide Information 3…2…1…Liftoff! Educator Guide A NASA Educator Guide for pre-K through 2nd grade focuses on activities about the ISS and the role rockets play in its construction.

Rockets Educator Guide The activities and lesson plans contained in this educator guide for grades K-12 emphasize land-on science, prediction, data collection, and interpretation, teamwork and problem solving. The guid also contains background information about the history of rockets and basic rocket science. Exploring the Moon Educator Guide The activities in this guide promote problem solving, communicatin skills and teamwork. Earth and space science subjects include lunar geology and regolith, distance to the moon, Apollo landing sites and life support systems. Aeronautics Educator Guide Try these activities with students in grades 2-4. The three chapters are (1)Air, (2)Flight and (3)We Can Fly, You and I.
