Recommendation:

There are many lessons here that incorporate video, images and data to create unique learning experiences. With access to NASA´s resources, and created by educators, these are quality experiences. The site is well organized and easy to use. The information in Classroom Resources is written for adults and teachers may need to filter out the pieces they deem important and at the appropriate reading and comprehension levels. The Educational Activities are organized by grade level.

Description:

This project, funded by NASA, shares online educational activities, classroom resources and Internet courses related to astronomy and space exploration. From the site: "Through funding from NASA, faculty at Montana State University and classroom teachers from across the nation have developed an extensive library of on-line and interactive K-12 science education materials for teaching astronomy. Closely aligned with the NRC National Science Education Standards, these web based lessons make maximum use of exciting on-line NASA resources, data and images. In addition to classroom-ready materials using contemporary teaching strategies, CERES has developed several on-line NASA data search engines and two graduate level distance learning courses, available over the internet to K-12 teachers."

Possible uses:

Teachers can find useful resources and activities to use with students. Students can also embark on an experience independently for enrichment. Teachers can use components of an activity or find quality images, text and resources to complement a unit on astronomy.
