Kindergartners learned about the Apollo 11 mission to the moon and NASA’s plans to return to the moon. The students enjoyed watching this exciting video clip: Return to the Moon: The Journey Begins Now.

Students rotated through three Science Stations:1) Google Moon Maps on the computer, Making Craters, and Moon Exploration Models/Toys 2) Moon Fact Game “Go to the Moon” played like Go Fish 3) Launching Rockets to the Moon and graphing if the rocket landed Before the Moon, On the Moon, or Beyond the Moon. What’s it like to walk on the moon? Join the Apollo astronauts on the surface in this series of stunning 360-degree panoramas, one each from the six successful Apollo moon landings. Shot by the astronauts themselves during their historic moonwalks, these QuickTime images capture the magic and mystery of the moon like no standard photograph can.
