Children will read an article about the many “spin-offs” from NASA including products, technology, and behavioral research that trace their roots to NASA’s innovation. As a follow-up, children are asked to choose a specific “spin-off” and write a thank you letter to NASA. This activity is available on the primary and intermediate levels. A companion Emergent Reader WAP is also available. The activity correlates with Content Standard E, Science and Technology, and Content Standard F, Science in Personal and Social Perspectives, of the National Science Standards.
