Tomorrow, we will try, again, to participate in a NASA Digital Learning Network Event with the folks at Kennedy Space Center. We will be mapping the moon with WALL-E, and therefore, spending some time today and tomorrow, discussing features and characteristics of the moon.
Those of you who are creating lunar colonies for your assessment project, may find this event a useful opportunity to ask experts some question to help you complete your packet.
For tomorrow, your homework is to create your own lunar map. You may look at the moon (if the sky is clear), Google pictures of the moon, use Google Moon to help you distinguish the Apollo landing sites, or use Google Earth's "moon" option to explore a 3D moon. We will be comparing maps tomorrow!
