EducationalmaterialsSOHO teammembershave participated in the filming of a number of videosconcerning the Sun and
solar wind,including the NASA Cutting Edge productionFire & Life: The Sun-Earth Connection,and other programsto be
broadcast nationally and internationally.We are currently making an informative educational video to distribute to schools and
the public.Weare also planning a monthly video describing the changing conditions on the Sun and in the solar wind. The video
will be distributed over NASA Select TV, and our primary target audience is television weather reporters, but we would also like
it to be shown at science museums(including our own Visitor Center here at Goddard).
We have produced a poster concerning the Sun, SOHO, and solar-terrestrial science for high school students and teachers. Over
130,000 copiesof the posterhavebeen printed,and itwillchiefly bedistributed via the NASA EducatorResourceCenters.
Many individual instrumentteamshave also produced postershighlighting SOHO data.
