Grades K-1 look at how humans explore space.
Grades 2-3 look at two of the most important moments in space exploration, the Soviet launch of Sputnik and the American moonlanding.
Grades 4-5 examine the Hubble Telescope, one of NASA’s greatest success stories – and almost one of its greatest failures.
