This is a God-send for science and social studies classes. The visualizations and animations are very clear and easily navigable for both students and teachers. This movement supports comprehension of complex topics. Among other things, they illustrate Earth's movement from space, multiple representatives of a single place and models of molecules. 

This source provides documents and data on geography, astronomy, and science related subjects. It has a wide range of written and visual information for students. A great resource for 8th grade earth science.

Welcome to Cool Cosmos, NASA's website about infrared astronomy, Here you'll find pictures, videos, games, educational materials, and more. A fun way to learn all about the "cool" part of the electromagnetic spectrum: infrared light.

A science topic that is bound to grab and hold onto everyone's attention is outer space. NASA offers four versions of their student site: K-4, 5-8, 9-12, and higher education. Each version offers some basic "must-haves" for primary sources such as photo libraries, videos, and a link to NASA-TV. In addition, there are games to motivate students, career profiles (to help students see what steps are necessary if they want to become an astronaut), and "Homework Topics" to help students extend their learning. There is also a great NASA Kids Club that is available!
