Through hands-on activities, students study the relationships of the Sun-Earth-Moon and planetary systems, including asteroids, comets, and meteoroids. The unit is divided into 3 sections, and each section ends with a performance-based and written assessment. The culminating Anchor Activity (a research project), during which students gather information about a specific planet and any NASA explorations of it, integrates the concepts of the module and the U.S. space program.
Part of the Science and Technology Concepts for Middle Schools™ curriculum, this unit is aligned with the National Science Education Standards. One-Class Kit includes a Teacher's Guide, 16 Student Guides, and the consumable and nonconsumable materials needed for one class to complete the unit in 8 to 12 weeks.
