  3. Agenda • Accessing NASA Education Resources • NASA Missions Exploring: • Earth’s Atmosphere • Magnetic Fields • Sun-Earth Connections • Boundaries within and the Boundary of • Our Solar System • Related Classroom Activities • Evaluation

  4. NASA Education Resourcesare Available… • Online • Available from C.O.R.E. • In ERCs

  5. Earth in the Environment of the SunHeliophysics: The Ultimate Border Control • Heliophysics - The study of the region of space that the sun influences, also known as the heliosphere, and the objects that interact with it: • Planetary Atmospheres • Magnetospheres • Solar Wind • Interstellar Medium
