Comparing Geology
Earth & Mars
For the past semester, I have been working through various content related to NASA's International Space Station and the concept of Astrobiology. This course, offered by the Endeavor STEM Teaching Certificate Project through Columbia Teachers College, had five main objectives that I have selected artifacts to demonstrate how I have implemented concepts in my classroom. Clicking on the objectives below will navigate to the coordinating page with the artifacts.
