Web Site of the Week: NASA eClips
Posted by: Christine Bulson
With school beginning very soon, elementary and high school teachers will find NASA eClips a useful resource. The eClips are short videos exploring how discoveries used for space travel are interrelated with daily life. Programs are divided by grade level - k-5, 6-8, 9-12 and the general public. The material is based on curriculum standards of various teachers’ associations. The producers of eClips hope that they will help prepare students to be successful in science, technology, engineering and math. There are new videos each week during the school year. A recent addition to the site are Educator’s Guides which are lessons plans based on the videos. The eClips for the general public include NASA in Your Home and NASA and Pro Athletes. This is another example of a positive use of government funds.
