NASA interactive website that allows students to explore different areas of science through training and then a mission. Great for exploring various interests in science and various careers in NASA.

This site includes videos and articles that expose students to the world of science in regard to space exploration. There are not any materials on the site that are expressly meant to serve as career guidance tools, but the available materials can serve to inform students’ understandings of the subject matter that is involved in space exploration. This resource would probably be most effective as a career guidance tool if interpreted as such by a counselor or teacher. The site is divided into sections based upon grade-level (K-4, 5-8, 9-12), though the individual articles and videos in the elementary section seem to cater to either kindergarten and first graders or third and fourth graders (I think the third and fourth grade materials would also be appropriate for fifth and sixth grade students).

This website includes short videos that expose students to the world of science and nature; more importantly, they can provide students with insight into the kinds of things that are involved in the pursuit of a career in science and nature. Although these videos are not explicitly intended to serve as career guidance pieces, they can certainly be a valuable resource to students when coupled with the guided interpretation of a counselor or teacher. The content in the videos may be a bit advanced for younger elementary grades, but too child-oriented in presentation for older elementary grades. This resource would be most appropriate for third and fourth grade students.
