This
educator's
guide
features
eight
activities
in
which
younger
students
use
brainstorming,
observations,
and
experiments
to
learn
about
the
Sun.
They
will
begin
by
learning
that
light
is
our
means
of
studying
the
Sun,
use
spectroscopes
to
separate
white
light
into
its
component
colors,
and
learn
that
there
are
other
forms
of
light
outside
the
visible
spectrum.
Then
the
students
will
conduct
experiments

This
educator's
guide
consists
of
nine
sequential
activities
for
younger
students,
in
which
they
acquire
content
knowledge
and
conduct
investigations
to
compare
and
contrast
Mars
and
Earth.
They
will
begin
by
examining
images
of
the
two
planets,
learn
about
the
instruments
used
to
make
them,
and
use
the
knowledge
they
have
gained
by
examining
images
of
Earth
to
begin
analyzing
images
of
Mars.

article,
The
Why

examines
the
possible
finding
of
water
ice
on
our
Moon,
and
the
implications
for
this
discovery.
The
article
discusses
why
scientists
believe
there
is
water
on
the
Moon,
how
a
neutron
spectrometer
picks
up
the
unusual
presence
of
hydrogen
on
the
Moon
which
could
indicate
water,
what
scientists
hope
to
use
this
water
for,
and
where
this
water
may
have
come
from.

This
resource
gives
an
impression
of
how
immense
our
Universe
is
by
starting
with
an
image
of
the
Earth
and
then
zooming
out
to
the
furthest
visible
reaches
of
the
Universe.
Its
goal
is
to
show
astronomical
distances
without
scientific
notation.
Instead,
it
focuses
on
the
large
number
of
zeros
that
are
in
astronomical
distances
when
we
measure
them
with
a
familiar
unit
like
the
kilometer.
The
