New Teachers

I am a new teacher and I really enjoy teaching about space. What are
some kid friendly sites that I could visit to keep my students up to
date with things happening in space? Thanks Wendy

The Challenger Center would be a good place to start.

Go to the NASA home page at http://www.nasa.gov/ and in the upper left hand
corner, click on "For Educators" for you or "For Students" for the kids.

It's obviously biased, since it's all NASA, but it's a good place to start.

There are lots of other sites out there which you can find by doing a Google
search on:

nasa teacher resources

It seems that many of the NASA centers, and places like JPL, have their own
education web sites.

Others have responded with some great sites. Let me add a couple as
well:

http://www.nasa.gov/centers/goddard/.../home/erc.html
http://www.heavens-above.com/

The latter requires a free registration but is definitely worth it.

But are you seriously a "teacher"?

If so, then don't pay any attention to whatever these infomercial
spewing Usenet rusemasters are telling you (unless you're Jewish).
