Get ready for blast off! With this free official NASA App, you and your students can take a journey into outer space without ever leaving the classroom. Your students are going to love NASA's public television channel, accessible within the app, which will "launch" them on their journey from classroom to Mercury, Jupiter and everything in between. The cool images and videos will definitely use their gravitational pull to engage all learners. Parents and teachers love NASA's app, too!
