College of Education Partners with NASA Education Project
An
alliance between Murray State University and NASA will give students in
western Kentucky a chance to have a close encounter with items from
outer space. The College of Education has developed a partnership with
NASA's Aerospace Education Services Project to provide professional
development for pre-service and in-service teachers in western Kentucky.
An educational specialist from the project will provide resources to
science methods students and National Science Teacher Association (NSTA)
student chapter members. Students will also be able to use NASA
educators, scientist and engineers as special resources, and area
teachers will be able to check out materials such as moon rocks, items
used by astronauts in space and NASA lesson plans. The program also
offers access to online materials and a list of classroom activities.
