Atmospheric Science Mission module added to Astroventure

Astro-Venture encourages students in grades five through eight to 'design' their own Earth-like planets suitable for human habitation. They 'role-play' NASA occupations as they learn about careers in atmospheric chemistry, climatology and meteorology

The Atmospheric Sciences module joins astronomy, geology and biology modules that have been available since Feb. 1, 2004. After completing all the modules, students can use what they have learned to design a planet that would support human habitation.
