NASA Resources for Educators

NASA's Central Operation of Resources for Educators (CORE) was established for the national and international distribution of NASA-produced educational materials in audiovisual format. Educators can obtain a catalogue and an order form by one of the following methods:
- NASA CORE
  Lorain County Joint Vocational School
  15181 Route 58 South
  Oberlin, OH 44074
- Phone (216) 774-1051, Ext. 249 or 293
- Fax (216) 774-2144
- E-mail nasaco@leeca8.leeca.ohio.gov

Educator Resouce Center Network
To make additional information available to the education community, the NASA Education Division has created the NASA Educator Resource Center (ERC) network. ERCs contain a wealth of information for educators: publications, reference books, slide sets, audio cassettes, videotapes, telelecture programs, computer programs, lesson plans, and teacher guides with activities. Educators may preview, copy, or receive NASA materials at these sites. Because each NASA Field Center has it's own areas of expertise, no two ERCs are exactly alike. Phone calls are welcome if you are unable to visit the ERC that serves your geographic area. A list of the centers and the regions they serve includes:

Regional Educator Resource Centers (RERCs) offer more educators access to NASA educational materials. NASA has formed partnerships with universities, museums, and other educational institutions to serve as RERCs in many states. A complete list of RERCs is available through CORE, or electronically via NASA Spacelink.


NASA On-line Resources for Educators provide current educational information and instructional resource materials to teachers, faculty, and students. A wide range of information is available, including science, mathematics, engineering, and technology education lesson plans, historical information related to the aeronautics and space program, current status reports on NASA projects, new releases, information on NASA educational programs, useful software and graphics files. Educators and Students can also use NASA resources as learning tools to explore the Internet, accessing information about educational grants, interacting with other schools which are already on-line and participating in on-line interactive projects, communicating with NASA scientist, engineers, and other team members to experience the excitement of real NASA projects.

Access these resources through the NASA Education Home Page: http://www.hq.nasa.gov/education

NASA Television (NTV) is the Agency's distribution system for live and taper programs. It offers the public a front-row seat for launches and missions, as well as informational and educational programming, historical documentaries, and updates on the latest developments in aeronautics and space science. NTV is transmitted on the GE-2 satellite, Transponder 9C at 85 degrees West longitude, vertical polarization, with a frequency of 3880 megahertz and audio of 6.8 megahertz.

Apart from live mission coverage, regular NASA Television programming includes a News Video File from noon to 1:00 pm, a NASA History File from 1:00 to 2:00 pm, and an Education File from 2:00 to 3:00 pm (all times Eastern). This sequence is repeated at 3:00 pm, 6:00 pm, and 9:00 pm, Monday through Friday. The NTV Education File features programming for teachers and students on science, mathematics, and technology, including the NASA...On the Cutting Edge Education Satellite Videoconference Series. The videoconferences include NASA scientists, astronauts, and educations specialists presenting aeronautics and Earth & space science topics of interest to teachers and students of grades 5-12. The series is free to registered educational institutions. The videoconferences and all NASA Television programming may be videotaped for later use.
