7th/8th/6th science

Agenda for Thursday and Friday

For the next couple of days you will be watching "In the Shadow of the Moon". After watching the video, your assignment is to compose an essay where you address the following:

• How do you think the astronauts felt when they first set foot on the moon?
• Which country were we racing with to put someone on the moon?
• Why was it important, for our country, that we win that race?
• What was/is the value of going to the moon? Are we trying to accomplish the same thing with future Mars missions? Discuss.

Write these points down, so you can refer to them over the weekend. The essay needs to be at least one page in length and is due on Tuesday.
