The instructional materials include background information about the poster, suggestions for integrating the poster into the curriculum, and suggestions for online and offline activities. A reproducible timeline showing historic events, Internet references, and a list of NASA resources for educators are also included. In a sample online activity, students are encouraged to participate in online chats with NASA scientists and researchers. Following the chat, students discuss what they have learned and how it will affect their career planning. In another activity, students select one or more of the premiere American women in aerospace in the poster, and research their backgrounds by visiting listed websites.
Students then record their names and accomplishments above the timeline in the proper location.
