I found
a terrific website for anyone who is interested in Science.
NASA has a website that features video clips geared to kids K-5,
6-8 and 9 to 12th grade. They are short, 5 to 10 minute video clips that are designed to inspire kids to learn more about science, technology, math, and engineering and are free to every student and teacher in the country! There are over 220 NASA eClips that range in topics
(K-5) from What is a Tide, What is Weather, Digging in Moon Dirt, and The Math Behind How Gears Work. For 6th to 8th graders the topics cover subjects such as Lunar Habitats, Hurricane Hunters, Scale Models and Ratios, and Solar Power on Earth. Ninth to twelfth
graders can learn about Space Food,
How Global Positioning Systems Work, NASA and NASCAR, and Invention of the Doppler Radar. There are also videos for the general public such as how NASA technologies help archeolgists discover ancient artifacts in the NASA 360: Episode 4 video. I watched a few and they are fascinating and I learned a lot like there are always 24 satellites circling the earth but 12 only available to you (for GPS) because the other 12 are on the other side of the world! And the new applications that scientists are finding out that GPS is useful for that it was never designed for! Curious? Go check out the site, there is something for everyone!

I checked out the resource, and it's extremely interesting- thanks for sharing! One thing I've come to really appreciate about the internet is agencies and organizations using it to spread "public service" eLearning. Many of the PR people ordering that this stuff be done probably don't even know much about eLearning, but I'm glad they order it done. Besides, with all of our tax dollars that go into things like NASA, it's nice to get a little something useful like this in return.
This site was very interestingand informational. I love the way it is divided according to various grade levels. I added this to my school website for students to reference.
