Abstract
The concept of Earth system science is still fairly new to the scientific community, and is just beginning to reach educators and the general public. NASA´s Mission to Planet Earth (MTPE) uses the unique perspective of space to study the Earth´s systems of air, land, water and life and how they interact. Within NASA´s education framework-and consistent with emerging U.S. science standards-MTPE seeks effective and innovative means to relay discoveries about the Earth for use in advancing the state of science education
