Scientific paper
We present a set of 7 interconnected activities on the theme of Sun-Earth connections that we have developed and presented at teacher workshops as part of a NASA-funded Education and Public Outreach project. Associated with the activities are two resource centers that are maintained locally at NJIT in Newark, NJ, and at Raritan Valley Community College (RVCC) in North Branch, NJ. We describe each of the activities and the resource equipment, and present some statistics of how successful the teachers have been in using the activities in their classrooms. A resource CD containing the text of a teacher's guide is available that explains each activity, lists the associated materials needed for each activity, gives estimates for the time required for each activity, and points out specific New Jersey Science Standards met by each activity. Additional resources including movies and photos are included on the CD, and links to this material are contained in the teacher's guide.
