Through funding from NASA, faculty at Montana State University
and classroom teachers from across the nation have developed an
extensive
library of on-line and interactive K-12 science education materials for
teaching astronomy. Closely aligned with the NRC National Science
Education
Standards, these web based lessons make maximum use of exciting on-line
NASA resources, data, and images. In addition to classroom-ready
materials
using contemporary teaching strategies, CERES has developed several
on-line
NASA data search engines and two graduate level distance learning
courses,
available over the internet to K-12 teachers.
