RESOURCE	GRADE LEVEL	MEDIA TYPE
Arctic Sea Ice Satellite Observations In this interactive activity produced for Teachers' Domain, learn how Arctic sea ice has changed over the past 25 years in terms of maximum winter extent, concentration, and the timing of breakup each spring.	6-12	Interactive
Astronomical Images in Different Wavelengths Visible light is just one portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that a telescope may detect. This collection of images produced for Teachers' Domain features radio wave, infrared, visible light, and X-ray images of distant stars and galaxies as well as images of the telescopes designed to detect the various wavelengths of radiation.	6-12	Interactive
The Chandra X-Ray Observatory Learn about the Chandra X-Ray Observatory's telescope system, science instruments, and spacecraft system in this interactive activity adapted from NASA.	9-12	Interactive
De-Twinkling the Stars Find out why stars twinkle and adjust a telescope to sharpen a star's image in this interactive activity adapted from NASA.	9-12	Interactive
Earth in Motion: Seasons This interactive activity from the Adler Planetarium explains the "reasons for the seasons." Featured is a game in which Earth must be properly placed in its orbit in order to send Max, the host, to different parts of the world during particular seasons.	3-8	Interactive
Exploration of Comets In this interactive activity from NASA, explore the anatomy and life cycle of a typical comet and learn about several comet missions.	6-12	Interactive
Explore Alaska's Volcanoes In this interactive activity adapted from the University of Alaska, explore four of Alaska's many volcanoes using photographs, computer simulations, and three kinds of satellite images.	6-12	Interactive
Global View of the Seasons This interactive activity produced for Teachers' Domain features satellite data of Earth's seasonal cycles. Visualizations and comparative still images reveal how successfully plants are photosynthesizing at different times of the year.	6-12	Interactive
