Digital
Library for Earth Science Education (DLESE)
DLESE is an effort sponsored by the National Science Foundation
involving educators, students, and scientists working together
to improve teaching and learning about the Earth system. DLESE
provides support services, including access to Earth datasets and
imagery, access to tools and interfaces that enable data use in
educational settings, and s upport services to help educators and
learners effectively create, use, and share educational resources.
DLESE resources include electronic materials for both teachers
and learners, such as lesson plans, maps, images, datasets, visualizations,
assessment activities, curriculum, and online courses.
Center for Image
Processing in Education (CIPE)
CIPE, a nonprofit organization, was founded in 1992 as an outgrowth
of the Image Processing for Teaching project of the Lunar and Planetary
Laboratory at the University of Arizona. CIPE promotes the use
of visualization technologies for educational applications and
develops discovery-based instructional materials that help educators
use digital image analysis and geographic information systems (GIS)
to teach science and mathematics.
Gladstone-Apple
Valley Radio Telescope (GAVRT)
GAVRT is a partnership
among NASA, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), and The Lewis Center
for Educational Research in Apple Valley, California. K-12 students
and teachers work with space scientists to control a 34-meter radio
telescope to learn more about radio astronomy and to introduce students
to the process of science.
NASA
Explorer Schools (NES)
NES establishes a three-year partnership
between NASA and school teams, consisting of teachers and education
administrators from diverse communities across the country. While
partnered with NASA, NES teams acquire and use new teaching resources
and technology tools for grades 4-9 using NASA's unique content,
experts, and other resources.
Planetary Data Systems
The PDS archives and distributes scientific data from NASA planetary
missions, astronomical observations, and laboratory measurements.
