Outer Space: Putting Distances in Perspective

How High the Moon will become more than a song title for your students, when they ponder space itself and try to put astral distances in perspective. This award-winning volume gets students involved hands-on with space projects, such as, modeling the solar system to understand size and distance and simulating a flight to the moon.

Activity topics reviewing our solar system, How big are the planets?, How far apart are the planets, let's take a space flight, flight checklist, things aren't where they seem, constellations, and more. Skills challenged predicting, observing, recording, following directions, cooperating, and critical thinking.

Everything's here to help you make each project a success -- organizational procedures, required and optional materials lists (readily available), teaching suggestions, and complete, step-by-step directions for all projects.

Also features a two-sided, full-color (one side) pull-out poster with Outer Space -- What's Wrong with this Picture on one side and Test Your Planetary Memory on the other side. Illustrated throughout with helpful line art as well as fun recurring "mouse" characters. All 16 pages perforated for easy removal.
