Solar System Exploration.....NASA

My daughter came home one day and announced that she needed to make the Galileo Space Orbitor for her science project.  She went online and began researching for her project.  She came across the NASA website that had templates of their Space Exploration Fleet.   She printed the PDF and created her Paper Model.  This is the model she created AND the model turned out just like this image!!!

This website is a great Solar System Exploration Site.  There is an Education and Kids section as well as offer other interesting information.  Aside from this, what interested me was the Multi-media section that students would find interesting.  There is a gallery of images, videos and an interactive section.
