Education Resources on the Web, Mostly NASA
Here are links to a few of the space education resources on the web. From this
small sampling, you should be able to quickly find many more resources.
Part 1: Nationwide Resources
- NASA's Education Home Page
- Links to on-line resources to educators, NASA education materials and
services, and education webpages of the regional field centers.
-
NASA "CORE", Central Operation of Resources for Educators
- Collection of NASA resources, both online and in print. Includes ordering information.
- Quest: NASA K-12 Internet
Initiative
- Bringing the Internet into the classroom. Audio, video, live interactions,
Q and A, background material, curriculum materials, descriptions of the
day-to-day activities of NASA personnel.
- From Stargazers to Starships

Part 2: Regional Resources
Part 2A: Lists of Regional Resources
-
TeacherLink (non-NASA, non-US government)
- Resources for teachers collected by Utah State University.
Includes NASA resources.
Part 2B: Individual NASA Field Center Education Web Pages
Each NASA field center has special education responsibility for its own region.
Programs vary from center to center, but can include on-site teacher training
programs and hands-on activities for students.
Here is a list of
education contacts for the NASA field centers.
The NASA field centers also have their own education web pages. These pages
combine on-line resources with information on education programs run by the
centers. Here are links to those sites (many of which are also listed on
NASA's central list of field center education offices).
