NASA REASON: INNOVATIVE USES OF EARTH SCIENCE ENTERPRISE DATA IN EARTH SYSTEM SCIENCE EDUCATION

SCHWEIZER, Diane and WEI, Ming-Ying, Earth Science Enterprise, NASA Headquarters, 300 E Street SW, Washington, DC 20546, diane.schweizer@nasa.gov

NASA’s Earth Science REASoN—Research, Education, Applications Solutions Network—is a distributed network of data and information providers for scientific research, development of decision support systems and enhancement of formal and informal education. Six education projects were competitively selected in July 2003 for participation in REASoN. These solutions address the needs of the educational community with respect to timely and ready access to Earth and environmental data to promote math, science and geography in K-12 education, and Earth system science in graduate and post-graduate education. In our poster will we provide an overview of each of the six funded solutions: · ProjectVIEW: Virtual Interactive Environmental Worlds (Elementary and Secondary Education) · Planting SEEDS: Remote Sensing Modules for Promoting Inquiry-Based K-16+ Earth Science Enterprise Education (Elementary and Secondary) · Extending NASA Earth Science Data Use to the K-12 and Citizen Scientist Communities (Elementary and Secondary) · Immersive Earth: Teaching Earth Science by Fulldome Experiences and Hands-On Exhibits (Informal) ·Satellite Observations in Science Education (Higher Education) ·NASA EOS Higher-Education Alliance: Mobilization of NASA EOS Data and Information through Web Services and Knowledge Management Technologies for Higher-Education Teaching and Research (Higher Education)
