Locating lunar landers
This lesson goes into more detail about the specific Apollo missions that returned the Lunar samples in this kit. It also combines coordinate systems with high resolution Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter images to challenge students to locate the lunar landing sites and hardware that was left behind on the surface of the Moon. This lesson can be used both to introduce coordinate systems or as a reinforcement lesson since an explanation of how to find coordinates is given in the presentation.
Curriculum links:
- Understanding coordinate systems.
- Using map grid systems.
- Giving coordinates for items on a set of axes.
