The Washington NASA Space Grant Consortium's electronic newsletter for teachers provides curriculum ideas, Internet links and other resources to help you better meet the Washington EALRs and the National Science Education Standards. On May 30, visit a frozen world and learn more about the free NASA educational resources available. Dr. Julie Lutz, NASA Regional Educator Resource Center coordinator, will show slides of her recent trip to Antarctica. Coffee, cold drinks and cookies will be served.
Families are welcome.
The ERC offers books and slide sets to check out, free posters and curriculum packets and other goodies. The poster, designed for grades 6-12, has mathematical activities relating to the Space Interferometry Mission, which will measure the distances between the stars in the universe. The Spanish version was designed to serve the Hispanic population of Florida, as well as the global community. Lessons support national educational standards in math and science. Recent topics include housekeeping in space, motion sickness, and movie science versus real life.
