There’s No Place Like Home: Earth Observation Camp Experience

NASA Science is critical for understanding our home planet Earth. This set of hands-on activities, geared toward students in grades 3-5, introduces Earth observation, Earth science processes, and Earth’s connection to the Sun. Intended for use in informal education settings such as after school programs, summer camps, STEM nights, and weekend workshops, this Earth Observation Camp Experience can also be easily adapted for use in formal settings to bring the excitement of NASA’s Earth science and research missions to the next generation of explorers. While NASA is looking to the Moon and beyond with the future Artemis missions, the agency is also doing very important work in learning more about our own home planet – from studying surface water and land use to air quality and agriculture! Several of the activities in this guide are adapted from Elementary GLOBE. If you are interested in additional Earth Science activities and educator training, be sure to visit The GLOBE program.
