You can now download the final version of the Saturn Educator Guide. You will need Adobe's Acrobat Reader to view the file(s).

The field test version has been heavily revised and improved for your use.
Or, obtain the entire Saturn Educator Guide in published form (3-hole punched with divider tabs) along with a CD-ROM that includes the guide, a gallery of color images, and a bonus copy of the interactive educational program "Ways of Seeing" for only $15.00 from NASA CORE: http://www.core.nasa.gov/. Select "search catalog" and type in Saturn, click on Saturn Educator Guide for details.
While the lessons are focused on science standards for grades 5 though 8, they may be tailored to higher and lower grade levels.
