Mapping the Moon: Simulating LOLA in the Classroom |
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.
