Students will
be able to command the giant
34-meter, 500-ton dish
located at NASA's Deep Space Network to follow the progress
of LCROSS from their classrooms
and help NASA monitor
spacecraft health and status.

Participate
in NASA Quest’s Lunar
Outpost Design Challenge scheduled for Fall 2006! Students,
primarily in grades 5–8, will be challenged to design
systems to support living and working on the moon. This
webpage also features teacher resources, NASA biographies,
and a lunar reading list. |

What does it take for a world to be habitable
to humans? Astro-Venture allows students in grades 5-8 to explore
this question through interactive investigations in astronomy,
geology, atmospheric science, and biology.

|
Use What's
the Difference? to compare and contrast the moons
and planets in our solar system. You can also input your
own data sets to create an interactive customized comparison
tool. |

Take the "Cratering
the Moon" Challenge one step further with the Moon
Math Supplemental Guide activities. Students will
1) approximate the area and volume of a classroom-made
crater,
2) calculate and compare the
scale of lunar craters to classroom craters, and
3) observe
how the
size, mass, and angle of impact of a projectile
affect the area and
volume of a crater.
