The Moon
Website
The Moon Website Students use this website to explore various topics about the moon.
Putting A Flag on the Moon Web Page
This web page was adapted from a page that was much too difficult for first grade students to understand even if the teacher read the page to them. In this adaptation, the important information was kept but put into more concise and simple language. It was developed as a page that could be displayed on a projector and discussed as it was read to the students.

Templates
Space Templates (Age, Weight, Etc.) These AW 6 Spreadsheet Templates calculate a student's age, weight, jumping height, and jumping distance on other planets and on the MOON. All students need to do is enter the appropriate information for earth and the data for the other planets and the MOON appears. One set of these simply has a photo of the planet and calculates the numbers. The other version calculates and graphs the data.

Another template allows students to drag the planets into their appropriate relationship to the sun (closest to farthest.)
Moon Calendar
Students drag the appropriate phase of moon graphic from the top of the page to the calendar at the bottom. (Appleworks 6 document)

To set the calendar, just type a 1 in the appropriate slot on the calendar and then delete the content of the days before it and those beyond the last day of the month.
