• THEMIS images (with geomorphic themes)
• HiRISE Learning and Activities Center
• Mars Exploration Rovers: Tools to Teach

Curriculum materials

• Digital Library for Earth System Education - DLESE
  This is a large, meta-site funded by the NSF. It is a library and clearinghouse of digital education resources in all Earth system science, including planetary.
• The Space Science Education Resource Directory - SSERD
  The first stop for NASA education resources; reviewed by educators and scientists. Materials from all space science mission EPO programs are directed to this site, including planetary science. Funded by NASA.
• The Gateway - Gateway to Educational Materials - GEM
  This is not a science-specific site, but it is so large that it contains a number of good resources for teachers of earth and space sciences. Funded by the National Educators Association.
• Digital Resources for Astronomy and Physics Education - comPADRE
  This is another digital resource reservoir, mostly turned towards physics, but with certain targeted general astronomy resources. NSF Funded.
• USGS Astrogeology - Kid's Program
  Small, but there are some fun things to do here.
• The Astronomical Society of the Pacific - ASP
  The ASP is positioning itself as a leader in Space Science EPO professional development. Their materials cover a wide range of interests, and the site has links to a very large number of astronomy, planetary, and space science education resources.
