Abstract: |
NASA Discovery Program missions to comets—Deep Impact and Stardust, and
their extended missions—are the rich source that their respective Education
and Public Outreach teams mine to convey investigative concepts to K–12
students. Specially designed curricular activities strive to be engaging and
represent science authentically. Even more, they unpack complex science
content so students' conceptual understanding can develop. Multimedia
elements—interactives, interviews, and games—enhance an educator's
toolbox of materials used to reach diverse audiences and deepen understanding. |
