NASA/NSTA Symposium:

National Aeronautics and Space Administration
Mapping the Moon: Simulating LOLA in the Classroom
Educators work on an activity at a recent NASA Symposium in Omaha, NE.

During this half-day symposium, sponsored by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), scientists and education specialists shared information with teachers about the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter and its instruments to study the Moon, about topographic maps, and about robotic exploration. The presenters led activities that enhanced the participants' knowledge of the previously mentioned topics that can be easily replicated and/or simulated in their classrooms. All participants received educational materials and information about related links available via the NASA web site.


This symposium was held at the NSTA National Conference on Science Education in Boston, MA. The program was designed for teachers of grades 4-12.
