| Title: | The Venus Transit: THE AU CHALLENGE In NASA CONNECT |
| Description: | Host, Jennifer Pulley, and NASA scientists will pose inquiry-based questions throughout the program. These questions allow the students to investigate, discover, and critically think about the concepts being presented. Thanks to NASA CONNECT™, we have prepared a 7 part version of the NASA video available for viewing here. Students and teachers can view the designated segments so students can answer and discuss the inquiry-based questions. For more information about inquiry-based learning, visit the NASA CONNECT™ web site. |
