NASA for Kids
National Aeronautics and Space Administration -- NASA for Kids (K thru 6th Grade) 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).
