Programs & Materials Highlights
Our forward-thinking and groundbreaking research projects often result in insightful and inspiring learning materials, many for free.
Investigating Science Outside
What it is: Investigating Science Outdoors engages students in authentic explorations of a study site—a small piece of land near their school that will be the object of scientific study. It is a supplementary science curriculum, targeted for grades 7-9 and is appropriate for afterschool and camp programs, as well as in-school use.
Takeaway: When it's too hot for outdoor summer activities, break out the crayon box and reach for these fun coloring pages! Coloring can offer kids and adults a creative outlet that's both relaxing and educational.
How TERC Can Help: Explore Earth like an astronaut with Windows on Earth. Visit here to see dramatic photos and movies of Earth by astronauts on the International Space Station.
Fun STEM Fact!
The International Space Station is the size of a football field and has been continuously occupied for over 20 years.
