Educational Space Simulations Project

DESCRIPTION

The Educational Space Simulations Project (ESSP) makes students aware of connections between science, mathematics, social studies, language arts and other disciplines while solving problems related to space science. Simulated space missions create the opportunity for students to experience "real-life" challenges and demands through developing, coordinating and executing a mission. The project Web site describes the concept of space simulations, and has images, software, experiments and an electronic magazine.
