NASA Explorer Schools

So, I think I'll start off with a great way for teachers in grades 4-12 to start infusing NASA education content into their classrooms - NASA Explorer Schools.  They name is a little misleading; the entire school doesn't have to get involved, at least not at first.  One teacher can use the resources, and that is fine, but you'll probably find that you'll want to share them with colleagues.

The available resources include:

• Standards-based lesson plans for both math and science classes in grade levels 4-12
• E-Professional Development Videos for using the lessons in class.
• Live support from educational specialists (at select times).
• Supplemental materials for extending the lessons.
• 5-minute NASA Now video clips that are published weekly for use in your classroom that help students to find out all the things that NASA is doing.

Here is a video clip of a NASA Now episode:
