NASA Educational
Videos Available to Educators:
NASA has produced hundreds of videotapes chronicling
NASA's state-of-the-art research and technology. Teachers
may either order these through NASA
CORE, or use their local
NASA Educator Resource Center and duplicate the
videos themselves. Topics include careers, earth science,
energy, history of flight, life sciences, living in
space, manned spaceflight, mathematics, physics, social
sciences, space exploration, space sciences, technology
education and utilization, and weather.
On TeacherLINK, you can view or search the YETC's NASA
Videos database. See what videos we have, along with a brief description, grade level, length, captioning, date produced, and associated teacher materials. (Or go to the CORE
website to see the entire video collection NASA has to offer.)
NASA produces some video series that are now entirely
online (view the videos online, get the teacher
supplemental materials in Acrobat PDF format, etc.)

Connect: NASA CONNECT ™ is an annual series
of FREE integrated math, science, and technology
programs for students in grades 6&endash;8. Each
program has three components: (1) a 30-minute
television broadcast that can be viewed live or taped
for later use, (2) an educator guide describing a
hands-on activity, and (3) an interactive web activity
that provides educators an opportunity to use
technology in the classroom setting. These three
components &emdash; television broadcast, educator
guide, and web activity&emdash; are designed as an
integrated instructional package.
NASA CONNECT ™ is FREE to educators.
Registered educators will receive, via e-mail, a
reminder of upcoming shows, a show summary, and a PDF
version of the educator guide. NASA CONNECT ™ is
a U.S. Government product and is not subject to
copyright. There are no fees or licensing agreements.
Broadcast and off-air rights are unlimited and granted
in perpetuity.
Endorsed by the National Council of Teachers of
Mathematics (NCTM), NASA CONNECT ™ supports
national mathematics, science, and technology
standards. NASA CONNECT ™ seeks to establish a
"connection" between the mathematics, science, and
technology concepts taught in the classroom and the
mathematics, science, and technology used everyday by
NASA researchers. By demonstrating the processes of
creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving
skills, NASA CONNECT ™ enhances and enriches
mathematics, science, and technology education.
NASA
SCIence Files: The NASA SCIence Files™
series is a distance learning initiative designed to
integrate and enhance the teaching of mathematics,
science, and technology in grades 3-5. Each episode
includes hands-on classroom and home activities,
virtual field trips, subject-matter experts, and Dr.
"D," the tree house detectives' next-door neighbor and
mentor. The tree house detectives form an ethnically
diverse cast of inquisitive school children who use
Problem-Based Learning strategies and scientific
inquiry to investigate a variety of issues and
problems.
NASA
Destination Tomorrow: NASA's Destination
Tomorrow™ is a series of 30-minute educational
programs that focus on NASA research, including new
technologies, advanced aerodynamics, past achievements
and medical breakthroughs. Each exciting program gives
the audience an inside look at NASA and demonstrates
how research and technology relates to our everyday
lives. If it's cutting edge technology, medical
breakthroughs or advanced aeronautical research -
NASA's Destination Tomorrow™ will bring it to you
first.
These program air on many PBS, cable, and ITV
stations throughout the U.S. The program is also
broadcast internationally through the Voice of
America.
Stations can receive this programming for FREE by
registering online or by calling 757-864-6100.
Programs are developed in cooperation with
Christopher Newport University. Program captioning is
funded by a grant from NEC Foundation of America.
Broadcast and off air rights are unlimited and are
granted in perpetuity.
NASA
Liftoff to Learning Series: Every liftoff of the
Space Shuttle is the beginning of a voyage of
exploration and discovery. The experiences of Shuttle
astronauts capture the imagination of students of all
ages. Students study science, mathematics, geography,
and technology with crew members aboard Space Shuttle
flights. Space becomes the departure point for
learning, integrating many other subject areas and
bringing them to life.
Recognizing the potential of the Space Shuttle
experience in the classroom, NASA's Education Division
and the Johnson Space Center's Flight Crew Operations
Directorate have joined forces to create a dynamic
videotape series to support educators in the
classroom. Liftoff to Learning captures the excitement
of space flight and explains, in basic and practical
terms, the scientific, mathematical, and technological
concepts that make space flight possible. These
learning tools also provide concrete examples of the
global perspective space flight offers and the new
frontiers of research and exploration space flight has
created.
Taking advantage of state-of-the-art video production facilities and computer animation capabilities of the NASA Johnson Space Center, Liftoff to Learning programs combine the stunning visual images of space flight with clear and entertaining graphics. Each program comes with a printed video resource guide that provides valuable background information for teachers, resources for additional study, and practical hands-on demonstrations of some of the concepts presented in the videotapes.
