From the Center for Science Education at the University of California Berkeley Space Sciences Laboratory comes the Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer Education and Public Outreach Curriculum page. Visitors will find several educational materials listed by grade level, including How Satellites See, Data Flow Demonstration, The Light Tour, Making Your Own 3-D All Sky Survey Map, and more. The Light Tour activity, for example, investigates wavelengths of light, types of light, how astronomers use different wavelengths, and what they see. Each of these fun and interactive activities does a good job of explaining these potentially difficult topics (especially to younger students).
