Sabrina F. I have been able to find a variety of resources to meet a variety of needs. As a special ed teacher I need to continually find new ways of presenting the material and Lesson Planet always has many great ideas that have worked wonderfully in my classroom. It's especially great when I need to make a last minute change to a lesson!

What is Momentum?
229
8th - 12th
4.0/5 Stars

In this momentum worksheet, students will calculate the maximum forward momentum of the Apollo 11 lunar spacecraft at three different stages of its space travel.

The Deadly Van Allen Belts?
27
9th - 12th
4.0/5 Stars

In this Van Allen Belts worksheet, students read about the deadly affects of the high energy particle clouds located around the Earth. Students answer 4 questions about the dosages of radiation astronauts receive in the zones of the Van Allen Belts, they determine the time a spacecraft would spend in each part of the Van Allen Belts and they calculate the amount of radiation an astronaut would be exposed to when traveling to the moon.

Strange New Planet
13
5th - 8th
4.0/5 Stars

Young scholars simulate different spacecraft missions using materials provided. In this space science lesson plan, students observe and record a planetary model's features from a distance. They relate this activity to scientists' space exploration missions.

Spacecraft Launched on Mission to Pluto
32
2nd - 5th
3.0/5 Stars

Students read a news article about a space mission being launched to the planet Pluto. They study the necessary vocabulary and complete an anticipation guide of questions which they revisit after they read the article.

Probes to Other Planets
6
6th
3.0/5 Stars

Sixth graders use a list of robot components and common household items to design and construct a robot spacecraft model suitable for exploring the Saturn System. They present the robots to the class.

Charting The Progress of New Horizons
6
2nd - 4th
3.0/5 Stars

Pupils explore the long distances and timescales involved in space travel. They track the progress of the New Horizons spacecraft and access the New Horizons website to discover the distance of the spacecraft from the Sun, and then convert the true distance to the scaled-down distance represented on the New Horizons poster.

NEXT GENERATION SPACECRAFT-Orion
73
11th - 12th
4.5/5 Stars

Students investigate the volume of a solid.  In this calculus lesson, students use integration to find the volume of a solid generated by a region, the Orion crew module. 

Solving Saturn's Mysteries
4
6th - 8th
3.0/5 Stars

Students study the Cassini spacecraft and its travel to Saturn. They discover the results of the space mission and examine images of Saturn that Cassini sent back.

Extra Terrestial Excursions
2
4th
3.0/5 Stars

Fourth graders determine how long it would take to fly to each of the planets in the solar system. They do two calculations: one, if they were using conventional jet, the other if they were using the fastest spacecraft possible.

Aircraft vs. Spacecraft
67
9th - 12th
4.0/5 Stars

Students investigate differences between aircraft and spacecraft, and the differences in propulsion systems. They build pinwheel airplanes and balloon rockets. An interactive activity quizzes students on thrust.
