Table of contents
Scientists have been working on just that ever since, but it's not easy. There's a lot of stuff to consider. Like what materials we'd use, how we'd get everything to the moon and how we'd actually build it! But first, why would we want to live there anyway? Well scientists have worked out that even though the moon looks pretty plain on top, there's a lot of rare elements under the surface. They're really valuable because they're used in all our tech stuff, like tablets and mobiles, so mining them might be helpful in the future.
But there is another reason to set up shop on the moon too. The hardest part of getting into space currently is travelling through our atmosphere and breaking away from earth's strong gravity. It's incredibly difficult and takes a huge amount force, which is why they need big rockets like this to do it! But the moon has a lot less gravity and no atmosphere, so launching a spacecraft from there would be much cheaper and much easier than doing the same thing from earth. But all of this depends on us finding a way to actually build a base on the moon and this is the really tricky part, because you can't just take building materials from Earth and shoot them up to the moon.
It's way too expensive. So, it makes a lot more sense to actually get your resources that you want to use in space from space. Yep, the only way to build on the moon is to use stuff available on the moon. But it's not like there's trees or a quarry up here to get building materials from, so it's a big challenge. But these scientists think they have a solution. One thing the moon has plenty of is moon dust. So they've done some testing and found moon dust mixed with another substance found on the moon, called sulphur, can be cooked to make bricks!
The bricks are really strong and could be used to make domed buildings that could protect specially designed inflatable living quarters from meteorites and other hazards. But there is one final challenge to this plan. How would you gather up enough moon dust to make all the bricks needed?

The guide helps put aside misconceptions about how far away spacecraft and satellites are. At 22, miles above Earth, spacecraft put into orbit over the equator travel at 7, miles per hour around the equator and follow Earth's rotation. This module draws upon NASA images and research to introduce students to the various ways humans interact with Earth's diverse environments.
Many human activities are clearly visible from space through satellite imagery. Remotely sensed images help people understand Earth as the home for humanity. We can learn a great deal about physical and human processes by analyzing remotely sensed images.

Impact Craters 2.
Space Tragedies
The countless craters, big and small, that are found on the surfaces of planets and moons record a violent history of collisions across the entire Solar System. It is a story that spans billions of years. Studies of craters-their shapes, sizes, number in a given area, and whether they are superimposed upon or beneath other geologic features-provide an understanding of how this story may have unfolded. In the first Activity students simulate how impact craters are formed, and how the appearance of a crater depends on the energy of the impacting object.
In the second Activity, photographs of the cratered surfaces of other worlds are examined to reveal information about a world's history, and the history of the entire Solar System.

After accepting appointments to work as weather interns in the State Climatology Office, students will be given their first task-to find answers and respond to a letter from a very frustrated third-grade student requesting help with an unwanted assignment about clouds. In order to help the younger student, the interns will need to conduct preliminary investigations to gain knowledge on: cloud formation, cloud classification, and the role of clouds in heating and cooling the Earth; how to interpret TRMM images and data; and the role clouds play in the Earth's radiant budget and climate.
Is There Anyone Out There? Once scientists have determined where they want to look for life in the Solar System, the next step is to figure out how it is to be done. In this lesson, students first create an operational definition of life, and put it to the test by observing a mystery object. They then define and conduct an experiment, modeled after the life science experiments performed by the Viking Landers on the surface of Mars, to determine if they have discovered life forms in simulated Martian soil samples.
The experiment is a simple but dramatic model exploring the differences between chemical and biochemical reactions-which is key to revealing the presence of life. Students will work together to create models of volcanic lava flows and analyze the layers that similarly form on a planet's surface. Students will use this 5E lesson to determine how critical-thinking, collaborative approach to understanding the principles of relative dating as they relate their layers over a series of volcanic eruptions.
Students will use their volcanic layering model to demonstrate the relative dating and geologic mapping principles to later be applied to satellite imagery. From grades , classrooms can build skills in problem solving and critical thinking during this fun Next Generation Science Standards aligned activity. Grades: K-8 Source. Mars and Earth: The quest for life 3. Along with Earth, this module studies Mars and the possibility that life existed, or perhaps may still exist, on that planet. Life on Mars has been debated since Percival Lowell thought he found evidence of canals on the Martian surface in the late s.
The comparison of Earth and Mars is accomplished by identifying and observing similar physical processes that exist on both worlds. Physical processes certainly affect living systems on Earth. Could they have the same effects on Mars? NASA has been studying Mars for decades and is developing plans that will one day send humans to the red planet to explore secrets which have eluded us for centuries. This module is divided into four investigations.
Each investigation may stand alone, or they may be linked for in-depth study. Systems, order, and organization, evidence, models, and explanation, constancy, change, and measurement, abilities necessary to do scientific inquiry, understanding about scientific inquiry, populations and ecosystems, diversity and adaptations of organism, Structure of the Earth system, Earth in the solar system, understandings about science and technology,Populations, resources, and environments, risks and benefits, science and technology in society, Science as a human endeavor.
In Mars Rover, Curiosity lands on the planet Mars. Because we are curious! We have a lot of questions. We want to know if life ever arose on Mars. We want to know about its climate, its geology, and in the big picture, we want to learn as much as we can about the planet so we can prepare for human exploration. We encourage you to embrace your own curiosity and participate in this series of activities that help you learn about the planet Mars and prepare you for the culminating challenge of imagining and designing your own Mars community.
Grades: K-8 Movies: Need Quicktime to play movies. Where Does Your Curiosity Lead? Mars, geology, climate, community, Earth, Earth's Moon, Solar System, scale, rockets, planets, flight, design. Students mold mounds of clay into tiny asteroids.

This moon phase activity allows students to "act out" the phases of the moon in about 30 minutes Grades: Source. Mystery Planet 4. Students will use samples of crustal material to sort, classify and make observations about an unknown planet. In this 5E activity, students step into the shoes of real planetary scientists. From their observations, students will interpret the geologic history of their mystery planet. Students in grades will build essential life and career skills as well as incorporate additional disciplines such as math, writing and reading.
In this lesson, students tour the Solar System. They examine and define its various components-the Sun, planets, moons, comets, asteroids, and Kuiper Belt Objects. They recognize that the Solar System is the family of the Sun, an average star, and other stars have families of their own. Taking a close look at the planets they find that characteristics like size, location, composition, and presence of rings and moons, reveal two major categories of planets-terrestrial Earth-like and Jovian Jupiter-like.
But tiny Pluto seems to be in a class all its own, perhaps the largest of the many ice worlds discovered beyond Neptune. The challenge of Earth science is to understand the natural processes that shape not only our planet, Earth, but all objects in the solar system. Precipitation 1. This module was developed as part of the series "Investigating the Climate System. While these materials were developed under one series title, they were designed so that each module could be used independently. Make a miniature world, complete with mountains, valleys, rivers, lakes, and volcanoes.
Remote sensing and Geoarchaeology 3.
This module explores ways geographers and geoarchaeologists use remote sensing to uncover previously undiscovered sites of human occupation. Photographs have long been used by geoarchaeologists to document sites before, during, and after excavation.
In the early s, remote sensing became a tool used to detect human features on the contemporary landscape. These skills were applied to see ancient landscapes as well. Students apply remote sensing and map skills to study ancient and prehistoric sites. In this challenging and fun kinesthetic lesson, students will begin to understand the challenges in communications that engineers face on NASA missions.
