Learning Resources

Regolith slides and activity that explore how regolith is created and its presence on the Earth, the Moon, and Mars. These slides support the Lunar Explorer Training Unit

Use the information in this presentation to learn about how to classify rocks and go on a sample lunar mission of your own. These slides support the Lunar Explorer Training Unit

The Apollo 15 astronauts were trained in geology and sampling techniques. Complete your own geology training by completing these activities to become a Lunar Explorer.

Crater Formation slides that support the Lunar Explorer Training Unit

Students will build their own model of the atmosphere to gain understanding of the layers and what can fly in each layer.

Studetnts will compare and contrast the different tectonic boundaries and use models to show tectonic boundaries

Join NASA Astronaut, and geologist Dottie Metcalf–Lindenburger as she teaches you about plate tectonics using graham crackers and icing.

What do graham crackers and plate tectonics have in common? Find out with this hands on demo featuring NASA astronaut Drew Feustel.

Did you know astronauts can see volcanoes erupting from space? Learn about this from NASA Astronaut Ricky Arnold and see a model volcano erupt.

In this webcast we look at the beginnings of Earth Day and how a better understanding of our place in the universe has evolved through photographic scientific discoveries

Students will investigate the geometry of the International Space Station’s (ISS) orbit and its motion relative to the Earth.

This lesson investigates the alignment of the Earth, the Moon, and the Sun during a solar eclipse and model that alignment with classroom materials.
