The resources below were sent to me by a division leader to support astronomy instruction.  Thanks to all that contribute!

NASA at Home - Virtual Tours & Apps

https://www.nasa.gov/nasa-at-home-virtual-tours-and-augmented-reality on other pages, they have e-books, videos, podcasts, etc.

PBS Learning Media has some great resources which you can search by grade, by type, and by subcategory of earth and space science - https://www.pbslearningmedia.org/subjects/science/earth-and-space-science/

This page is in the process of creating resources for 10-15 year olds at home.  I know it's younger than your students, but they may still be usable once they are posted.
