Living With a Star From Sunscreen to Space Weather Teacher's Guide for Grades 6-8

This GEMS unit--with accompanying CD-ROM--begins with a mystery. A series of alarming events takes place. Power outages, loss of cellular phone communication, strange glowing lights in the sky. The "culprit" is the Sun. Students learn how this is possible through mock scientific missions, learning of UV radiation and the protective powers of the atmosphere. Expertise provided by NASA's Sun-Earth Connection Education Forum. Living with a Star addresses numerous national standards in earth and physical science.Glaser, David is the author of 'Living With a Star From Sunscreen to Space Weather Teacher's Guide for Grades 6-8' with ISBN 9780924886737 and ISBN 0924886730.
