JASON Products and Curriculum
|
JASON is an inter-disciplinary, multi-media science program for middle-grade students that sparks the imagination and enhances the classroom experience. Since 1989, the JASON Foundation for Education has been traveling from oceans to rain forests, from polar regions to volcanoes, to explore Planet Earth and introduce students to leading scientists. Working together, scientists and students examine biological and geological development. |
JASON Argonauts measure light levels during the "Rainforests at the Crossroards" Expedition in Panama.
