Lesson - Investigating Air Pressure
What is the moon made of, and how was it formed? Why do we see different kinds of moons throughout the year? What is a crater, and why are craters different sizes? This kit’s lessons and materials help students investigate these questions with skits, experiments, books, images, and demonstrations. Also included in the kit is Blackfeet Skies: An Educational Guide Based on Blackfeet Sky Knowledge.
Lesson - Lunar Formation Skits
Lesson - Mining for Moon Rocks
