Hardcopy versions of images taken by the Hubble Space Telescope and other NASA missions of the solar system are also available at your closest NASA Educator Resource Center. If your school has one or more computers located outside your classroom, i.e. library, computer lab, students may experience the lesson individually or in small groups as a learning station or as a supplement to your solar system unit. Some students might have computers at home with access to the Internet. If that's the case, you might consider assigning the Solar System Trading Cards lesson as homework or extra credit. NASA has available FREE at your closest NASA Educator Resource Center lithographs and posters related to the solar system which can be used as teaching tools in the classroom.
Parents can preview the lesson and examine the teacher pages ahead of time.
A wealth of information related to astronomy can also be found at the home page of the Space Telescope Science Institute . Here you can find background information on the telescope, pictures and news releases of past and present stories, education activities, and other science resources. Another way to get the latest press releases and other information about the telescope is to subscribe electronically to the Institute's listserv. The system will reply with a confirmation via e-mail.
