In an effort to foster hands-on, inquiry-based learning in
science and math, the NASA Glenn Research Center has developed a
series of interactive computer programs for students. All of the
programs are Java applets which run in your browser, on-line,
over the World Wide Web. The programs can also be downloaded to
your computer so that you can use them without being on-line.
The programs are in the public domain and are constantly being
modified and upgraded based on your input. We have also
developed a series of Beginner's Guides that accompany each of
the software packages to explain the science and math. You can
access the Beginner's Guides at the bottom of this page. And for
teachers, we have developed almost 200 to test the student's
knowledge of the material. These grade-specific activities have
been developed by teachers during summer workshops and are
aligned with science and math standards. We would like to know
if you are using any of these simulators, activities, or the
accompanying Beginner's Guide
