What is the NASA ERC?

Missouri's NASA Educator Resource Center is located at Southeast Missouri State University in Cape Girardeau. Having opened in November of 1999, the NASA ERC has been favorably received and continues to be a busy repository for NASA educational materials and programs.

We have:

• Posters, lithographs, and bookmarks -- all free of charge. Most have activities, worksheets, or general information on the reverse side.
• A wide assortment of NASA videos, with over 300 titles from the NASA archives.
• A large variety of NASA CD's and audio tapes.
• Large variety of NASA curricular materials, including lessons and hands-on student activities for all age levels.
• Hundreds of NASA slides, many of which accompany lessons and hands-on activities. Each slide has a written description for teacher use.
• Free assisted Internet service for information searches and to view NASA educational web sites.
