EDUCATION - 5-8 Program
Scientific engagement is the focus of the Cassini 5-8 Program. Lessons incorporate an interdisciplinary hands-on approach to science learning in the middle grades.
Major Program Elements:
Educators may download these classroom materials free of charge.
Many of these materials were developed by Cassini scientists in collaboration with classroom teachers.
The Cassini 5-8 Education Program partners with other groups both within and outside JPL to enrich the educator/student experience, and bring Saturn closer to the classroom.
GAVRT Radio Telescope
The Goldstone Apple Valley Radio Telescope (GAVRT) provides curricula and training for middle and high school teachers to learn about the Deep Space Network, a group of radio telescopes responsible for worldwide radio communication to interstellar and deep space instrument and spacecraft. Here students can perform actual radio astronomy experiments, truly engaging in revolutionary scientific discovery.
