NASA's BEST - Activity Guides
Many of the NASA's BEST activities have been adapted from others, but are now aligned with the Engineering Design Process. Each activity features objectives, a list of materials, educator information, procedures, and student worksheets. All activities are intended for students to work in teams. It is recommended that each team consist of 3 or 4 students. The activities can be used as in-school curriculum or after-school clubs; as a set or individually. This guide of activities was also designed to keep material costs to a reasonable limit, using materials often already found in the classroom or from home.
