This
booklet
includes
17
problems
relating
to
the
Moon
and
its
exploration.
Images
from
NASA
are
analyzed
to
determine
image
scales
and
the
physical
sizes
of
various
crates
and
features.
The
probability
of
meteor
impacts
near
a
lunar
colony
are
calculated,
and
the
horizon
distance
is
determined
using
simple
geometry.
Also
covered
are:
determining

Students
learn
the
basics
of
galaxy
classification
by
making
use
of

In
this
chapter,
users
take
the
role
of
students
from
a
small
town
in
Colorado,
who
team
up
with
students
from
the
town
of
Churchill,
Manitoba,
to
explore
changing
sea
ice
conditions
in
the
Arctic.
Together
they
examine
an
animation
that
shows
30
years
of
satellite
images
to
see
how
the
extent
of
sea
ice
in
the
Arctic
has
diminished
over
time.

This
activity
prepares
the
student
to
launch
an
investigation
of
the
relationship
between
precipitation
and
Streamflow
for
