"X-Class: A Guide to Solar Flares Solar flares are classified according to their strength. The smallest ones are B-class, followed by C, M and X, the largest. A powerful X-class flare can create long lasting radiation storms, which can harm satellites, communications systems, and even ground-based technologies and power grids."

" to design and develop well-engineered assessment tools to support US schools in implementing the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (CCSS). Tools for formative and summative assessment that make knowledge and reasoning visible, and help teachers to guide students in how to improve, and monitor their progress. These tools comprise: * Lesson Units for Formative Assessment: some focused on math concepts, others on non-routine problem solving - 20 per grade for Grades 7-12. * Professional Development Modules: to help teachers with the new pedagogical challenges that formative assessment presents. * Summative Assessment Task Collection: to illustrate the range of performance goals required by CCSS. * Prototype Summative Tests: designed to help teachers and students monitor their progress, these tests provide a model for examinations that may replace or complement current US tests."

A wide variety of aerospace activities and lesson plans have been generated by active teachers, educators, and NASA engineers and scientists.

study aerodynamics at your own pace and to your own level of interest. Some of the topics included are: Newton's basic equations of motion; the motion of a free falling object, that neglects the effects of aerodynamics; the terminal velocity of a falling object subject to both weight and air resistance; the three forces (lift, drag, and weight) that act on a glider; and finally, the four forces that act on a powered airplane.
