Auroras: Mysterious Lights in the
Sky is a Flash-based Web site geared for K-4 audiences. Ideum
worked with scientists and educators from NASA's Sun-Earth
Connection Education Forum at Space Sciences, UC Berkeley to
design and develop an animated children's story about the Northern
and
Southern Lights.
Ideum wrote the story and created the illustrations
and animations. Actual video footage of auroras and NASA images
are presented along with the illustrations. The story goes beyond
just explaining auroras; children also learn about the scientific
process, and how NASA scientists study auroras.
Auroras: Mysterious Lights in the Sky is
featured on the main NASA Website (www.nasa.gov/multimedia).
An exhibit-based version is at the Goddard Space
Flight Visitor's Center and the Chabot
Space and Science Center. |
