Do you want to learn more about Earth's remote polar regions?
And bring icy activities into the children's and family programs you offer?
NASA Explore! Ice Worlds is just for you!
Explore! Ice Worlds is a suite of hands-on inquiry activities designed to be used with children ages 8 to 13 in celebration of the International Polar Year. Developed by the Lunar and Planetary Institute and funded by NASA, the activities are designed for the informal learning environment, including libraries, after-school programs, and museums - and they work well in elementary to middle school classrooms, too! All activities are tied to National Science Education Standards, and all use inexpensive materials that are easy to find. Children will learn while having fun! Check out the activities at: http://www.lpi.usra.edu/education/explore/ice/activities/ <https://mail.lpi.usra.edu/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=https://mail.lpi.usra.edu/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://www.lpi.usra.edu/education/explore/ice/activities/> .
