Recommended Resources
Faculty Institutes for Earth and Space Science Education (FINESSE) have developed and tested inquiry-based lesson plans that make extensive use of NASA data resources in the Earth and space sciences. Though originally intended for college faculty who prepare future science teachers, these resources can help any science educator wishing to provide authentic inquiry experiences for high-school and undergraduate students.
