1. CALL FOR PRODUCTS FOR OSS PRODUCT REVIEW BY MAY 14

------------------------------------------------------------

It is now time to think about submitting those products you have

produced, and are currently distributing locally and at con-

ferences, to the NASA Office of Space Science National Review.

The panel members are recognized reviewers from colleges, class-

rooms and NASA, as well as several experts in the sciences. This

review can result in your product being awarded an exemplary seal

within the Space Science Education Resource Directory

(http://teachspacescience.org) and in wider distribution of the

exemplary products. The review does not guarantee the materials

will be printed through Code FE, however, that is a possibility if

it’s a product that meets educator needs. Additional information

and the submission form are on the following website:

http://www.strategies.org/2002SpaceScience.html

Note: Although the website lists the deadline for submission as

May 1, we will accept products until May 14. Please notify me if

you intend to submit, so I can hold one of the 20 submission spots

for you.

Please send the products to me and I will forward those to IGES,

the contractor that oversees the review process. I will need 10

copies. The results will be sent to you in mid-September. Please

submit products for which you have enough copies to support workshops

nationally (3,000), or products that are available in pdf format.

------------------------------------------------------------

The Cambridge Encyclopedia of the Sun is a fundamental, up-to-date

reference source of information about the Sun, from basic material

to detailed concepts, such as s-curves. The language, style, ideas

and profuse illustrations will appeal to the general reader as well

as professionals. Chapters include: “The Sun as a Star,” “The

Magnetic Solar Atmosphere,” and “The Sun-Earth Connection.” This

one-stop, single-author encyclopedia will be an important reference

for those needing information on any aspect of solar astronomy,

solar astrophysics, or solar-terrestrial relations. The author is

Kenneth Lang, published by University Press, Cambridge, and the

ISBN number is 0 521 78093 4.

Newsletter Sponsor Info: Sun-Earth Connection Education Forum

------------------------------------------------------------

An integral element of the Office of Space Science (OSS)

education and public outreach strategy is the establishment of

a network for space science to foster a wide variety of edu-

cation and public outreach activities. This network of

institutions include (1) four Education Forums that serve as

major centers for space science education and public outreach

in each of the four OSS Themes, and (2) a set of regional

Broker/Facilitators who, for example, help arrange collab-

orations between scientists and the education community.

The Sun-Earth Connection Education Forum (SECEF) is a partner-

ship led by Goddard Space Flight Center and UC Berkeley’s

Space Sciences Laboratory. To learn more about SECEF and the

Office of Space Science Education and Public Outreach program,
