Each WebCast episode in this series will accompanied by a full complement of chats with NASA experts who are working in the area covered by the preceding episode. Preparation and lesson materials will be referenced to assist teacher use in the classroom. Lesson plans will be gathered from a variety of sources, and we will make every attempt to cover a variety of curricular needs. These will include primarily fifth grade through university materials, but there are easy adaptations for younger and older students. We encourage your creativity and would be delighted to have you share your ideas with us. Feel free to send your contributions and concerns to: Linda Conrad.
