NASA Expedition Earth and Beyond Webinars
Expedition Earth and Beyond is designed to motivate students to gain an interest in science, mathematics, engineering and technology. Using stunning images, the program encourages students to not only want to learn about earth processes but to provide them with the opportunity to get involved with NASA in the process of exploration, discovery and science.
Check out the following webinar sessions to bring rigor and relevance to your classroom and transform your students into scientists as they explore Earth and other planetary bodies in our solar system. A telephone and a computer with Internet access are required to join these sessions.
