Educators in Grades 6-12

The NASA Educator Professional Development Collaborative at
Texas State University is providing a 1-hour webinar.


Explore the idea of using a web quest in your classroom to engage students in guided inquiry. The resources in this webinar will help students to explore and engage in self-reflection. While clicking in on links to videos about scientists and engineers working with the environmental issues and problems we are facing,  students begin to identify with STEM career opportunities. The resources and Web Quest can be used by students working independently, choosing which videos and links they are interested in watching and exploring, or they can be used for the whole class to stimulate discussion and collaboration Link to the Web Quest : https://pmm.pps.eosdis.nasa.gov/education/interactive/stem-careers-exploration.
