Return to the Moon (Apollo: the Next Generation)

Module descriptions
Cat-A-Pult Physics(learn about forces and motion by working with spring tension and angle of launch of your lunar cat; what would happen if this was done on the moon?)
Science as a process(why are variables and a control important in science? how reliable is the data you collect?)
Lunar Solar Rover I(no gasoline on the moon so solar power may be the primary mode of transportation; build your Moon Buggy your future exploration)
Earth-Moon ABCs I(could you step outside without a space suit on the moon? Use a vacuum chamber and test what happens to a marshmallow in a partial vacuum)
Life Support(testing an astronaut's urine can provide clues as to any illness or organ malfunction)
What are polymers?(learn about polymers through working with various types including Ghost Crystals, astronaut diaper powder, Insta Snow and the newest polymer toy, Insta Worms)
Recycling Science(use film cans and make simple science tools such as a kaleidoscope, a rocket or a jet boat)
Solar Sailing(the future America's Cup will feature a solar sail race around the moon using the solar wind)
Lunar Solar Rover II(complete your solar powered rover and test your Moon Buggy)
Earth-Moon ABCs II(compare the Earth and Moon through geometry, using a compass and ruler)
Chemistry 101(what elements are in the lunar soil that can be used by future colonists? Learn about the periodic table and how it helps to group the elements)
So you want to be like Dale?(entertain your friends at your next gathering by becoming a science demonstrator like Dale)
To be an Astronaut(what does it take to be an astronaut)
Space Science Magic(discrepant demonstrations that will get you thinking and laughing)
