NASA presents this gallery of images from the Apollo 11 mission to the moon in 1969.

If you build it carefully, this crazy contraption demonstrates one of the basic laws of nature.

Students will examine a map projection of a chosen USGS topographic map versus other maps. The teacher will explain that each map is drawn according to a specific map projection. Students will be given or shown a USGS poster of numerous map projections, as well as cartography in texts to illustrate how distance, direction, angle, or area have to be distorted.

Can you avoid the boulder field and land safely, just before your fuel runs out, as Neil Armstrong did in 1969? Our version of this classic video game accurately simulates the real motion of the lunar lander with the correct mass, thrust, fuel consumption rate, and lunar gravity. The real lunar lander is very hard to control.

Build your own system of heavenly bodies and watch the gravitational ballet. With this orbit simulator, you can set initial positions, velocities, and masses of 2, 3, or 4 bodies, and then see them orbit each other.

To prepare for the SOL push I published this set of SOL terms with many pictures on the Quizlet Flashcard/Game platform.

The content can be printed for a written review/quiz or played in a classroom environment as a live activity from student computers or with a teacher exerting control from a central projector screen.

This site is compatable with Google Classrooms! Students can be assigned the review as homework. Quizlet keeps scores and correct/wrong answers if students are enrolled as a class.
