543: Webinar- Maven: Read Write Explore

Tonight I participated in the webinars: Maven Read Write Explore.  This webinar was hosted by John Weis, and Educational Specialist for NASA.  Here is the link to the PowerPoint from the webinar:
Link to PowerPoint.  Mr. Weis first discussed the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution (MAVEN).

Then, Mr. Weis explains how this information can be used in the elementary classroom.  He gives a link to six lessons, books to read, and activities.  These lessons can be used for informational writing, sequencing, argumentation, compare and contrast, and more.  I really liked how the activities can be used to just complete a science unit or it can be implemented across the curriculum.

 I asked if they post MAVEN updates to Twitter and Mr. Weis said that they do to #askNASA.  Students can Tweet with this hashtag and get answers to questions.
