National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)
This module is designed to connect cutting edge NASA research with the teaching and learning of core science and mathematics concepts and skills while addressing state and national education standards. The process of science inquiry and the tools used to do research play a major role in all the lessons. Topics and research projects include Temperature Variations and Habitability, Modeling Hot and Cold Planets, and Using Mathematical Models to Investigate Planetary Habitability. Teacher Notes provide background and instructional guidelines and include class hand-outs for the student activities. Resources found in data and tools are used by students to conduct the analysis called for in the module investigations.
