Many concepts in the planetary sciences can be difficult to teach using traditional or laboratory methods, but interactive media may provide unique opportunities to explore these. Such “interactives” can engage the user by allowing them to manipulate variables, view multiple trials in succession, and explore sophisticated conceptual information within a dynamic graphical interface. In formal educational settings, interactives accompanied by student data sheets can be used to foster and evaluate learning. At Montana State University’s Extended University we have developed interactive animations using Flash® to explore concepts such as gravity assist maneuvers and spin-orbit resonance as part of the education and public outreach efforts for NASA’s MESSENGER and New Horizons missions (to Mercury and Pluto, respectively). Some of theses interactives are paired with standards-based hands-on classroom activities. Here we will demonstrate several interactives and accompanying learning modules.
