How It Works

This is NASA’s "home page" for school-related information. There’s almost too much here, and figuring out where to go next can be a problem. It’s a good starting point, though, especially when used in conjunction with the other NASA resources on this page.

In the Classroom

Open this site on an interactive whiteboard or projector and access the "e-clips." The clips are short video segments that would be an excellent supplement for any lesson on NASA related materials. After completing a lecture, show students a clip to re-enforce the message, and they will be sure to be more interested and see the theories in practical application!
