What are some engaging ways to introduce the topic of space exploration to students with varying levels of interest in science?
If only you could connect all subjects to space or dinosaurs --you'd be in with every student.
www.nasa.gov has a wealth of FREE educational resources that connect STEM concepts to NASA missions. Additionally you should engage with NASA STEM Express: https://www.nasa.gov/stem/express which provides opportunities for your students to meet virtually with NASA experts on a variety of topics via Zoom or Teams...they even have opportunities to receive some of their retired artifacts for your classroom or school! Another wonderful resource is GLOBE (www.globe.gov). Training is online for this program and your students use an app to record citizen science observations where the data is used by NASA scientists.
