Astro- Venture   http://astroventure.arc.nasa.gov/

Astro-Venture is a guided inquiry-based, interactive, multimedia Website. Students in grades 5-8 role-play NASA careers as they search for and design aplanet that would be habitable to humans. Students engage in online training modules to learn the factors that are required for human survival based on the observation of changes to the Earth. Students then en gage in inquiry-based lessons that help them understand why these factors are necessary.

NASA Quest Web Challenqes   http://quest.nasa.gov/

NASA Quest connects K-12 classrooms with NASA people, research and science via mission-based challenges and explorations supported by NASA scientists via live, interactive webcasts, chats, forums and online publishing of student work. NASA Quest features student directed inquiry-based, telepresence Web challenges that are focused on mission content. Students are asked to design solutions to NASA problems or scientific questions, obtain feedback from scientists via Web chats and see their solutions published online and featured in webcasts that connect student solutions to NASA research and careers. Quest also provides a resource of numerous NASA career role models via a searchable database of bios and field journals collected over the last 8 years. Quest also offers an e-mail question and answer service.

This FREE series includes an instructional broadcast, a companion educator's guide, an interactive VVebsite featuring a PBL activity, plus a wealth of instructional resources .. Video copies are available from CORE and some NASA Educator Resource Centers ..

The Virtual Astronaut Website   http://virtualastronaut.jsc.nasa.gov/

The Virtual Astronaut Project is an interactive 3-0 Website that integrates existing life science research data and NASA educational produets into a suite of instructional materiais. It provides 5th through 8th grade students with a tooi that integrates leading edge-technology with recent findings in physical sciences, space sciences, life sciences, and physiological research.

Findinq Impact Craters with landsat   http://craters.gsfc.nasa.gov/index.htm

In this classroom activity, students consider the sudden release of a tremendous amount of kinetic energy when an extraterrestrial object strikes the Earth. They write about the effects that such a ollision might have on the land, atmosphere, water, and living things. Students then read descriptions of the actual effe cts of impact events and the evidence these leave behind. To demonstrate their understanding of the role of impact events in shaping the Earth, students write a series of guidance questions for a field expedition to determine whether or not a given landform is an impact crater.

The Design Challenges position the teacher as a facilitator with specific tools to help students achieve mastery of national standards in math, science, and thinking skilIs. Through background information of current technologies, lesson plans are constructed to guide students in inquiry-based learning. Teachers receive valuable resource information on topics such as safety precautions and details on construction and set-up of the activity. Design Challenges encourage students to draw on what they know, explore what they don't know, and communicate their ideas in order to draw conclusions. Both teachers and students discover how scientists and engineers apply math and science to develop today's technologies.

NASA Explorers   http://www.nasaexplores.com/

NASAexplores is a website that provides free, weekly, K-12 educational articles and lesson plans related to current NASA research, projects, and activities. Materials are produced for three different grade levels: K-4, 5-8, 9-12. Printable and downloadable, these supplemental curriculum resources meet national education standards in mathematics, science, technology, and geográphy. Additionally, NASAexplores lesson plans cover numerous subjects, such as language arts, history, social studies, etc. Of more than archived 1,500 lessons, many have been developed for student inquiry learning. NASAexplores resources generate awareness of and build students' interest in NASA's research and technology, and inspire them to study mathematics, science, and engineering. NASAexplores is sponsored by three of NASA's enterprises: Aerospace Technology, Space Flight, and Biological and Physical Research.

NASA Conneet   http://connect.larc.nasa.gov/

NASA CONNECT is an annual series of FREE integrated math, science, and technology programs for students in grades 6-8. Each program has three components: (1) a 30-minute television broadcast that can be viewed live or taped for later use, (2) an educator guide describing a hands-on activity, and (3) an interactive web activity that provides educators an opportunity to use technology in the classroom setting. These three components television broadcast, educator guide, and web activity are designed as an integrated instructional package. NASA CONNECT is FREE to educators. NASA CONNECT seeks to establish a "connection" between the mathematics, science, and technology concepts taught in the classroom and the mathematics, science, and technology used everyday by NASA researchers. By demonstrating the processes of creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skilIs, NASA CONNECT enhances and enriches mathematics, science, and technology education.

Imaqine the Universe Lessons (6-12) 

http://imagine.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/teachers/teachers_corner.html 

Detective Digit and the Slap Happy Computer Caper - Learning and working with binary numbers. 
Get The Picture
- Students construct and analyze images from digital satellite data.

How Big is That Star? - Determining the sizes of stars in eclipsing binary star systems uses the simple representations and manipuiating the mathematical equations that are iiiustrated and demonstrated within this lesson.

Lotto or Life- Probability of Life Elsewhere in the Universe - This lesson combines the concepts of astronomy and probability in order for students to compare the likelihood of intelligent life existing elsewhere in the Universe and winning the lottery.

Then they develop their ideal community, from an inter-disciplinary perspective of arts, sciences and technology.

You can:

·       Launch a rocket

·       Compose an opera

·       Build your ideal Mars city

·       Celebrate the future in your own community
