Generations: Living Beyond our Planet of Origin
 · Education

Generations will include an innovative and robust education and outreach program including:

  • Web-based curricula for elementary and secondary students
  • Real-time mission-based biology laboratory curriculum
  • Private sector partnerships to identify medical and technology products
  • Regional forums and town hall meetings to encourage public participation in space biology and exploration
  • Other education and public information resources

The following existing resources contain content related to Generations science and education goals:

Cambridge Healthtech Institute's Genomic Glossaries is an online collection of glossaries featuring terminology for emerging technologies.

Life into Space volumes I (1965-1990) and II (1991-1998) present an overview of space life sciences missions, payloads, and experiments developed and/or managed by NASA Ames Research Center and Kennedy Space Center.

The Living Environment is an online book chapter presented by Science for All Americans, an AAAS project, which provides an overview of the diversity of life, heredity, cells, interdependence of life, flow and matter of energy, and the evolution of life.

Space Biology: An Educator's Resource is an online resource for life science educators who wish to utilize space biology education content in advanced placement high school and undergraduate biology courses

Web of Life, the online presence of the Fundamental Biology Outreach Program (FBOP), provides a number of educational resources. FBOP oversees all FSB education and outreach activities.
