Third from the Sun

Creator: NASA | visit site

Grade Range: K - 3

Designed for grades K-4 by NASA, this site introduces Earth sensing – observing and mapping the earth from the sky. Clever use of student artwork helps draw attention to the text, which traces the evolution of flight, space travel and satellites, showing how each was used to observe Earth. Students then offer hypotheses about Earth images taken from space.
