The document provides resources for educators to use NASA materials in their classrooms, including engineering challenges, opportunities to integrate math concepts about cratering on the moon, and a list of online tools for 21st century teaching including live binders and tiny URLs. Students will estimate crater sizes, compare lunar and classroom craters, and observe how projectile variables affect craters.
14. Take the "Cratering the Moon" Challenge one step further with the Moon Math Supplemental Guide activities. Students will: 1) approximate the area and volume of a classroom-made crater, 2) calculate and compare the scale of lunar craters to classroom craters, and 3) observe how the size, mass, and angle of impact of a projectile affect the area and volume of a crater.
