Games from Nasa to help the students learn outer-space.

From the site: "Since 1981, NASA space shuttles have been rocketing from the Florida coast into Earth orbit. The five orbiters - Columbia, Challenger, Discovery, Atlantis and Endeavour - have flown more than 130 times, carrying over 350 people into space and travelling more than half a billion miles, more than enough to reach Jupiter. Designed to return to Earth and land like a giant glider, the shuttle was the world's first reusable space vehicle. More than all of that, though, the shuttle program expanded the limits of human achievement and broadened our understanding of our world. In this feature, we look back at the Shuttle's historic missions, the people it flew into space, and its achievements."

Great activity to help students use NASA data in order to develop a community-based strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emission. Includes additional resources (articles, websites, NASA instruments) to help students learn about CO2 emissions, what is being done around the world, to decrease CO2 emissions, and what they can do.
