Mars north polar ice stratigraphy project : a curriculum module for 5th grade
text This report is explores the need for a curriculum module for late elementary school students by looking at what drives student interests and motivations in pursuing careers in the sciences. The curriculum module created is composed of visual aids, including video animations, a 3-D scale model,...
