"The Earth Science Enterprise is NASA's contribution to developing a vastly
improved understanding of the Earth. The unique vantage point of space
provides information about the Earth's air, land, water, and life and
their interactions not available using any other means. To effectively
and efficiently contribute to Earth System Science Education, one focus
of the Earth Science Enterprise is to train the next generation of scientists
to use an interdisciplinary approach..." The program focuses on water related issues and integrates environmental topics into hands-on learning activities that can be used in social studies, science, mathematics and language arts classes. topics include stormwater runoff, erosion and sedimentation, household pollutants, taking environmental action through letter writing, nutrient enrichment, water quality monitoring of local watersheds, limnological testing, studying water and waste treatment facilities, studying a stream from its headwater to mouth, groundwater, wetlands, acidity/acid precipitation and integrating computer technology. | |||
