The Space Foundation states that its purpose is "to foster, develop and promote, among the citizens of the United States of America and among other people of the world ... a greater understanding and awareness ... of the practical and theoretical utilization of space ... for the benefit of civilization and the fostering of peaceful and prosperous world."
Many people, including myself, have called for a national focus on science education as the United States strives to maintain its competitive edge in the 21st century global economy.
To that end, the Space Foundation has done the incredible. It has posted a fully developed K-12 science curriculum complete with lesson plans. Best of all, this curriculum and the lesson plans are free. It's a truly amazing resource.
