Educator Resource Center - The Educator Resource Center at the Goddard Space Flight Center serves educators in the eleven northeastern states (Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New
Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Vermont) and the District of Columbia.
Located at the Goddard Visitor Center, the Educator Resource Center is a place where educators can come and use NASA resources to develop their aerospace education programs.
Here educators research, gather ideas and duplicate audiovisual materials.
Materials available at the resource laboratory reflect NASA's research and technology development and relate to such curricula areas as astronomy, Earth science, aeronautics,
mathematics, physical science and life science. Teachers in disciplines other than science and mathematics are encouraged to explore ways in which aerospace materials may be
incorporated into their classroom lessons.

GLOBE - Soil Science Education - This web site contains a lot of new, exciting, fun and informative material on the soil. There is a Soil Gallery, where
you can see the Soil of the Month and read some soil stories in Once Upon a Sandy Loam. You can even sing some soil songs in Rock 'N Soil. You can also find
out about some Secrets Hidden in the Soil. Do you know how much soil there is on the earth? Do you know what soil looks like? Does it look different during the
different seasons? Does it have different shapes? Do you know what the soil does? Do you need ideas for science fair projects?
