About the Book

This book features 26 spectacular images courtesy of NASA. The target audience is K-5 elementary students. Early readers and preschoolers may also find it enjoyable if they have a keen interest in space exploration, robots, rovers and rockets. The reason these topics fall under E is for Earth is because NASA programs have netted breakthroughs that improve the quality of life on Earth. In the process of solving problems encountered during their missions, discoveries and innovations resulted in benefits for us here and now. We would not have the image of Earth that is featured on the cover were it not for the Apollo program

Prior to the Mars Rover landing, dinosaurs were the number one interest for kids. Since that incredible little robot started sending images and information about Mars to us, the interest in this program and other space missions has increased young students' desire to do well in STEM studies. This book is meant to be that sort of tool, to motivate girls and boys to do better in math and science classes. Vocabulary and concepts presented in this book relate to NASA missions (acronyms in caps are explained): Apollo, BARREL, Curiosity, Discovery, Earth, Future, Galaxy, Hubble, IBEX, Juno, Kepler, Landsat, Mystic Mountain, NEAR, Orion, Pioneer, QueSST, Ranger, SOFIA, TRACE, Ulysses, Voyager, WISE, eXtreme, YEARS, Zarya.

Carma Gagne Chan became interested in these subjects when NASA provided a scholarship for her to participate in a workshop for educators. At that time, she was homeschooling her son who had required a special environment and methods for learning due to sensory integration issues. What she learned in one week ignited her passion for using NASA's free curricula to get kids more interested in learning math and science. She launched a campaign in her community and founded a chapter of the Young Astronauts Council, sponsored by local small businesses and community resources. Her science club was called YEARS in the Rockies, which stood for Young Engineers, Astronauts and Rocket Scientists. It was a blast!
