  • Elementary GLOBE (Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment): Using a storybook approach, these modules introduce students to various aspects of Earth system science through storytelling, observations, and measurement of their surrounding environment. Translated versions available in Arabic, French, German, Norwegian, and Spanish.
  • NASA Space Place enriches elementary-aged learning of space and Earth science through fun online games, hands-on activities, informative articles and engaging short videos. With material in both English and Spanish and resources for parents and teachers, NASA Space Place has something for everyone!
  • Bringing the Universe to America’s Classrooms - Free Resources from NASA and PBS LearningMedia: Explore images, videos, interactive games, and more. Use these resources to engage students in science practices with key phenomena.

  • Science & Engineering come together in this Space Hazards Unit where students in learn about how to protect humans and robots on Earth and in space.
  • Every NASA mission starts with a creative idea about how to explore something in a new way. Take the NASA Space Place Art Challenge and have students make art and use their imaginations! 
  • Earth System Module from Elementary GLOBE: The hummingbirds have stopped visiting the school garden and it's up to students to figure out why. In this story, students will observe the environment's seasonal changes and how they affect the local wildlife by making observations and writing in a science journal. Activities include Earth System in a Bottle and We're All Connected: Earth System Interactions.
  • Visualize waves with an interactive tool that allows students to control the direction of wave disturbance. Then, observe the universal phenomenon of waves in this media gallery of Earth and Mars. Together, these resources enable students to make observations of wave phenomena that can be used as evidence in explaining that waves occur as patterns.
