It does this by creating millions of videos and assignments generated for almost every grade level (not really meant for k-3) while also keeping students updated with scientific news and other important events that are occurring world wide.
Space.com: This website is all about outer space. Its for all grade levels and just features articles, games, tools, videos, maps and all things space learning.
