The Space Odyssey Online Teacher's Resource Guide has been developed to assist teachers in planning a comprehensive space program for their students. The guide provides easy access to grade-appropriate classroom activities, related exhibitry, Planetarium shows, and background information for four main concepts: the Solar System, Space Exploration, Deep Space, and Current Events in Space. Program pathways have been developed for each main concept. Pathways consist of the following:

• Relevant Space Odyssey exhibit components and pre- and postvisit activities
• Basic background information
• Appropriate connections to the Planetarium show
• Suggested Museum outreach programs
• Additional content resources

The Denver Museum of Nature & Science is committed to providing accurate, age-relevant materials for teachers and their students. Museum scientists and educators have reviewed the background content within this guide. The resource links were selected based on relevancy to Space Odyssey content, scientific accuracy, and practical applications. Experienced teaching professionals developed the pre- and postvisit activities and classroom programs.
