Links for Educators

Welcome to our website! Space Science is a subject area rich in information, experiments that will inspire the hidden and not so hidden astronaut in every child and adult. This project was designed  to bring the area of Space Science to life, beyond paper and pencil activities so that students could really experience what it might be like to work and live in Space.

The following are webistes and resources that you may find useful to planning any Space Science Unit. Hundreds of resources exist beyond the ones listed but these are particularly good.
