REVIEW:
A series of NASA missions to search for new worlds is being launched
using very sensitive instruments and Planet Quest highlights these
in a site that will fascinate young and old alike. Students can
learn all about the instruments and missions, find out how scientists
discover new planets and determine if they are habitable, view multimedia
presentations, and participate in interactive activities. The new
world atlas can be searched to learn more about the planets that
have already been discovered, 107 to date. A link to the glossary
of terms used on the site can be found in the bottom navigation
bar. Educator resources include hands on activity guides, in .pdf
format, geared toward grades 6-8 and a list of Web resources to
enhance the curriculum.
