Creating a Moon Colony Settlement
3rd-5th grade
CLASS IS NOW FULL.
If you were a colonist on the Moon, what would your contribution be to the Lunar Community? Would you bring a thought, product, structure, or service? As NASA's Artemis Mission looks to the next phase of returning humans to the surface to live and work, how will they do that? Each class member will have a “job” and will collaborate with each other to successfully colonize the Moon!

Students will learn how their actions effect our environment both positively and negatively. Sample lessons include: Did you know that soils can be alkaline, neutral, or acidic? Most plants grow best in soil near neutral pH, but some plants prefer slightly acidic and others slightly alkaline soil. What is the pH of the soil in your garden or different liquids? What happens to the pH of water that comes in contact with soil? In this class you will get to find out!
