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.
Here is a link for elementary lessons for Mars exploration.

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.
