to the moon. . .

Lorna spotted these "pricey resources" at NASA, but the guides may be useful and less expensive. (Thanks Lorna!) NASA has lots of resources for homeschooling & Scouting.

After watching the Field Trip to the Moon DVD, students continue their lunar exploration with classroom activities that investigate the moon’s habitability and sustainable resources. These activities culminate with plans for the design and creation of a lunar station. The students are assigned to one of six teams, with four to six students in each team. The teams are each given one of six topics to investigate: ecosystem, geology, habitat, engineering, navigation or medical.
