Jim
It was a pleasure to talk to you today. As we discussed, we have developed a new site which explores the timely topic of climate change -- but targeting upper elementary school age kids. We are hoping that this site can be a resource to your members who are parents and teachers.
I am attaching a short announcement about the new site. I am hoping that you can include the announcement about the site in your organization's newsletter, and perhaps put in a link to our site from yours. We also have a little logo for the site in case you want it for the graphic link. (Attached)
Thanks very much,
Nancy Leon Manager, NASA Kids Climate Change Program ____________________________
NASA Gives Kids Their Own Guide to Climate Change
A blinking red-eyed tree frog and flitting butterfly greet visitors to the new NASA Climate Kids website. Targeting grades 4 6, this kid-friendly guide de-mystifies one of the most important science issues of our time. The site answers the ³Big Questions² about global climate change using simple illustrations, humor, interactivity, and age-appropriate language. For example, one interactive feature is the Climate Time Machine, which reveals how global changes have affected or will affect our planet over time. ³Climate Tales² has animal cartoon characters coping< more or less good humoredly<with the effects humans are having on their habitats. A collection of Earth-science-related games offers such experiences as ³Wild Weather Adventure² and ³Missions to Planet Earth.² A Green Careers section profiles real people doing jobs that help slow climate change. Visit Climate Kids at climate.nasa.gov/kids.
