NASA eClips is a NASA-supported project that brings together exciting video segments and resources with educational best practices to inspire and educate students to become 21st Century explorers.
NASA eClips serves the national K-12 educational community by introducing students to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) concepts and providing teachers with engaging resources and tools to support teaching and learning. Developed in 2008, NASA eClips offers free educational resources for teachers to use to complement their curriculum. Educational material for this program is selected based on national curriculum standards identified by the Common Core State Standards – Mathematics (CCSS-M), the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), the Standards for Technological Literacy (defined by the International Technology Engineering Education Association (ITEEA), and the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE).
The National Institute of Aerospace works with NASA to continue to provide relevant and engaging science content and access to subject matter experts. Though primarily developed with the formal K-12 classroom audiences in mind, NASA eClips also provides resources to increase understanding of NASA science to lifelong learners, non-formal audiences, and the general public. Professional development opportunities are delivered to demonstrate best practices using newly developed resources to tackle student misconceptions in science, as identified by national assessment sources.
