We've been collecting material created by NASA and some others from SPACELINK and several other sources for three years now. We've recently added some great new material to our collection via "Gopher Space".
We've organized the material into the following collections, placed it in stacks for your convenience along with graphics and other resources we've been able to find.
The stacks feature a combination of excellent information and extremely well written lesson/unit plans and ideas from many people for all ages. Each of the stacks contains material specifically adapted to any age level which can easily be modified for older or younger students.
Each stack is set up so you can easily print single lessons, units, and plans or export/copy them to your word processor to reformat before you print.
Except where otherwise stated, each title is shipped compacted on HD or DD disks and cost $8.00 for members and $12.00 for non-member plus shipping. As extra space on the disks make possible, supplemental material is included.
