Following the astronauts
This lesson is designed to introduce students to the Apollo missions and set the scene for the Lunar samples by investigating the landing sites where some of the samples in the Lunar disk came from. Students will use Google Earth to explore the Apollo 15 landing site, finding out information about the samples collected at the site, flying into panoramic images, and using the ruler tool to measure the distance the astronauts covered while exploring the surface, and work out how long it took them to make this journey.
