Operation: Resilient Planet puts students on a mission to investigate the health of our environment and discover how to protect our planet's ecosystems. Students will visit some of Earth's most diverse ecosystems to uncover the mysteries of our planet - side by side with host researchers such as Bob Ballard and Sylvia Earle.

Join the Argonaut Team as they snorkel over a coral reef in the Gulf of Mexico, investigate alien invaders in the Great Lakes, protect whales in the Atlantic Ocean, discover why there are so many sharks on the reefs of Hawaii and help restore the threatened Chesapeake Bay.

Operation: Resilient Planet is an ecology curriculum unit based on National Science Education Standards including Science as Inquiry, Physical Science, Life Science, Earth and Space Science, Science in Personal and Social Perspectives, and History and Nature of Science. The complete curriculum will include print, video, online games, labs and field work - plus an interactive Web site, the JASON Mission Center, where students from across the globe can put their knowledge to work and take the Argonaut Challenge.

We are currenlty taking orders. Please see order form.

Operation: Monster Storms will transport classrooms to the center of Earth's most extreme weather events. You will join some of the world's leading weather researchers in the field to study the mechanics of weather in an exciting, standards-based, multimedia curriculum developed with NASA, NOAA and National Geographic. Designed for grades 5-8 (but with the flexibility for teachers to adapt to higher/lower levels), the curriculum covers key National Science Education Standards for Physical Science as it focuses on connecting students with great explorers and great events through:

• Hurricanes, tornadoes, thunderstorms and lightning
• Weather dynamics and storm formation
• Forecasting, warnings and safety precautions
• Extreme weather impact and human interaction
• Climate and global monitoring

Also available is the 2-disk DVD set from Host Researcher Tim Samaras, Driven By Passion. The set includes all of Tim's best video including the destructive tornado that destroyed the town of Manchester, South Dakota, and a first-ever peek inside a tornado.
