Laura,

I believe that NASA has outreach programs already in place for each state.
Here in Delaware the NASA outreach program is based through the Delaware
Aerospace Education Foundation.  They have outreach programs for schools and
have already assembled curriculum materials.

Somewhere among all the NASA pages is a list of state outreach coordinators,
that I can't find at this time.   Perhaps the folks at DASEF could be of
help.

Subject: NASA-based outreach trunks


Hi All,

I'm in the process of creating four NASA-based outreach trunks for grade
school to junior high students.  Each trunk will be a different topic,
including:

Rockets
Planets
Living in Space and Robotics
Space Exploration

Here are my questions:

I have requested educational materials catalogs from NASA and have gotten
on their website numerous times.  But there's so much to choose from!  I'd
love to hear if you've had great success with any astronomy-based
curriculum.

How about fun models, experiments, CdRoms, and toys to compliment the
curriculum.  Does anyone have suggestions on potential sources for such
things relating to the above four topics?

I'm in search of a durable, safe rocket that can be packed with the Rocket
trunk.  Any suggestions?

Thank you so much for any thoughts and/or suggestions.  They will be
greatly appreciated.

Laura
