Most teachers like to start the year with something fresh and new.
A great place to start is the award winning Genesis mission home page. When science teachers visit this page, they will find science modules that include activities that are ready to use for both middle and high school classes. All activities are correlated to the National Science Education Standards. The goal of the Genesis Web site is to inform and involve the public in a mission that will reveal clues to the conditions present at the very beginning of our solar system. Because the Genesis mission is long-term, the Web site offers the opportunity to follow a NASA mission from the present time of launch preparation, to the day of launch in January 2001.
