This exciting science adventure has students trace the travels of Amelia Spacehart, an astronaut and radio astronomer who is searching the solar system for the source of a mysterious radio signal. From her interplanetary NASA spacecraft, Amelia provides clues that lead students to explore features of the solar system, states of matter, lenses and magnification, and large scale measurements. As academy members, they explore Earth's history for clues to the possible existence of life beyond our Solar System. Designed for science classes, these volumes can be used individually or in series to create a comprehensive, thematic, scientific exploration for students.
