In the Earth science section, children work with a variety of scientific information collected by aircraft and spacecraft. The Earth system science tutorial features images of Earth taken from aircraft and satellites. The students find their way from space to Moffett Field, California by identifying specific geographic features in these remotely-sensed images. In Aeronautics, students learn about the principles of flight, wind tunnels, and use computers to design airplanes. In the Space Sciences section youngsters experience some of the basics of physics in fun physical ways.
Young people become astronauts on a simulated space station with different experiments to complete.
