There are many opportunities coming for Sun Earth Day on March 20, 2008.
Here are the first 2. Have a great Sun Earth Day. Be sure to let me know
what you are doing this year so I can include that information on the
calendar.
Solar Week 2008 - a lively week of online activities and curriculum for
students about the Sun including games and lesson plans for the whole week.
In addition, there's a message board where your classroom can submit a
question to solar scientists.
www.solarweek.org <http://www.solarweek.org/>
Every fall and spring since 2000, Solar Week provides a weeklong series of
Web-based educational classroom activities and games geared for upper
elementary, middle and high school students with a focus on the Sun-Earth
connection. Students learn about solar eclipses, sunspots, and solar storms
through a series of activities, games, and lessons.
Solar Week is ideal for students studying the solar system, the stars,
astronomy in general. It's also for kids wondering what it's like being a
scientist, and possible career choices. Participation makes for a fun
computer lab activity as well. The website is especially designed to spark
the interest of pre- and early-teen students with activities and interaction
with leading scientists at the forefront of Sun-Earth research. Solar Week
always devotes a day -- and on-line discussion time -- to each year's
Sun-Earth Day theme. This year (spring 2008) it's Solar Energy, and we will
feature Special Guests Scientists who can answer your questions about Solar
Energy, as well as show you new web activities (such as building
solar-powered toys in your classroom).
Note: Teachers, please read the FAQs before your class submits a question to
the bulletin board. ( <http://www.solarweek.org/CS/p/873/1458.aspx#1458>

The second opportunity for Sun Earth Day this year is NASA EDGE!!
What is NASA EDGE?
NASA EDGE is a video podcast (vodcast) that is different, unscripted and
unpredictable. NASA EDGE takes a unique look in and around the greatest
space program on the planet. Whether it's the latest launch or the coolest
gadgets, NASA EDGE hosts provide an offbeat, funny and informative look
behind the NASA curtain. If you've ever wanted to learn about NASA but
thought you needed to be a rocket scientist, wait no longer. Watch NASA EDGE
and embrace your inner astronaut.
In Episode #4 you can learn about Sun-Earth Connection Science from Auroral
scientist, Dr. Nicky Fox. You can also hear more about NASAs Space Weather
Action Center! Then just before Sun-Earth Day, March 20, 2008, you'll be
able to download their latest episode where Co hosts, Chris and Blaire,
invite Troy Cline to talk about Sun-Earth Day, Solar Week and the Space
Weather Action Center. In that episode you'll also hear the latest about
Solar Sail Technology from scientist Paulett Liewer of JPL.
Check it out Now.

Look for the vodcast on their website beginning March 17th, the week of Sun
Earth Day.
