NASA's Great Observatory Paper Model Kits permit students to construct detailed spacecraft models in the classroom or at home. Completed models may be used in space dioramas or hung from the ceiling. The kit contains background information on the mission of the observatories and their instruments. The kit contains reproducible masters for the models that should be copied on to paper stock 60 pounds or | greater. Models may be enlarged on a copier if bigger models are desired. The pieces of each observatory are labeled with detailed, step-by-step instructions and a listing of additional materials required for assembly. To obtain a kit, contact the NASA Teacher Resource Center that serves your region. See pages 90-91 for a list of these centers. |
