Abstract	Science Through ARts (STAR) is a free, international, cross-curricular program thematically aligned with "The Vision for Space Exploration," a framework of goals and objectives published by NASA in February 2004. Through the STAR program, students in grades 5 through 12 are encouraged to apply their knowledge in creative ways as they approach a real-world problem involving space exploration. Through videoconferencing with NASA scientists, experts, and other schools, students learn how scientists and their peers think and work. Students are given additional motivation to excel because the final product of their hard work is available online. This article presents case studies, written by four teachers who participated in the STAR program, which provide insight on how the teachers incorporated the program into their curricula. (Contains 9 online resources.) (ERIC).
