Scientific paper

The NASA Kepler EPO is contributing to the creation of three major curriculum projects:
Full Option Science System (FOSS) - Planetary Science Units for middle school
Great Explorations in Math and Science (GEMS) - Space Science Sequences for grades 3-5 and for grades 6-8
Hands-On Universe (HOU) high school curriculum, A Changing Cosmos.
Both the GEMS and the FOSS units focus on topics starting with Earth-Sun-Moon system and expands to solar system and beyond. Both have well developed systems for student assessment. Both are infused with classroom activities that bring the science alive for students.
The HOU product is keyed to National Science Education Standards, and has a strong technology component in the Image Processing software investigations using real telescope images.
We summarize classroom activities and student investigations from all three projects. In particular, there are elements that drive home the science underlying the NASA Kepler mission to find Earth-size planets in the habitable zones of other stars.
