Future Thinking- Ice Mining On the Moon & Gravitational Force
This 2-Day STEM lesson takes place in a science classroom after students have explored the sun and solar system (including our planet, the moon, and asteroids), and is intended to focus on gravitational force for one hour both on Day 1 and Day 2.
Day 1: Students are encouraged to create and share a comic book adventure with at least four panels that illustrate how human forms deal with gravitational force, comets, meteors, and asteroids in outer space. **Futuristic ideas are highly encouraged.
Day 2: Students will study the relationship between mass and weight. They will also learn to use scales to calculate weight in Newtons on other celestial bodies both on paper and digitally.
