Lunar explorers perform an experiment to understand the size of the craters on the surface of the moon. They layer flour, laundry detergent, and cocoa powder in a pan to model the lunar surface. They drop marbles from different heights...

The Galle crater on Mars is also known as the Happy Face crater because of its appearance. First, scholars use pebbles and flour to simulate craters and study their properties. They then apply this knowledge to help decipher the history...

In this craters worksheet, students solve 3 problems including converting units of Joules into a number equivalent to a one-megaton nuclear bomb, finding the diameters of craters in a given picture and determining the energy needed to...

In this Hubble Space Telescope worksheet, students are given a photograph of the radiator recovered after being in space on the Hubble Space Telescope since 1993. Students solve 6 problems about the impacts that left craters on the...

In this lunar surface worksheet, students use an image taken by the LRO satellite to investigate the size of craters on the moon's surface, to determine the crater density and to find the average distance between the craters.

In this lunar crater frequency worksheet, students use the power-law function to solve 3 problems related to the number of craters in a given area. They integrate the power-law function to determine their answers.

In this moon craters worksheet, students use a high resolution image of the lunar surface and calculate the image scale in meters per millimeter. They use the image scale to find the largest crater in the image, the smallest crater, the...

In this lunar crater worksheet, students use an image taken by the Lunar Orbiter spacecraft to find the scale of the image and determine the diameter of the lunar crater Tycho. They also find the size of the smallest and largest features...

In this lunar cratering worksheet, students use probability to determine the outcome of coin flipping. They use this to represent the probability that asteroids will strike the moon in already cratered areas.

In this making craters worksheet, students make craters using paper, sand, golf balls and other materials. Students follow 4 sets of directions and answer 3 short answer questions.

In this water on Mars instructional activity, students use a diagram to answer four questions about the structures in the image. They find the dimensions of the image, the width of the streams half-way down their flow channels, the...

In this moon worksheet, students answer questions about the lunar surface and identify the features of the moon on a moon map. They include craters, bays, mountains, seas, oceans and craters.

Scholars become experts on the moon, its phases, and craters with a series of lessons, activities, and extension opportunities. Learners' expert level of knowledge includes moon facts, how moon craters are created, the ability to...

In this everyday editing activity, learners correct grammatical mistakes in a short paragraph about Crater Lake. The errors range from capitalization, punctuation, spelling, and grammar.

In this geography worksheet, learners identify the Wolf Creek Crater and how it was formed. They examine a contour map given of how the crater would look from above. Then, pupils use a ruler to draw lines as on the graph to the side....

Every topic under the sun is covered in this New York State Regents High School Examination. With the focus of earth science, participants answer 85 quesitons about the solar system, geologic time, rocks and minerals, landforms, and...

Junior geologists address 50 multiple choice questions and 35 short answer questions about the earth system. Plenty of visuals are included for interpretation: diagrams, graphs, maps, photographs, laboratory setups, weather symbols, and...

In this moon crater activity, students use images of craters taken from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter to determine the size of the craters. This activity has 6 problems to solve.

For this Mars Rover Landing worksheet, students are given an image of Mars near the Bonneville Crater. Students determine the image scale in the diagram and use it to find the diameter of the Bonneville Crater, the width of the Rover's...

In this moon worksheet, students read about the data collected from the Deep Impact/EPOXI and Cassini missions to the moon that have detected the presence of hydroxyl molecules under the moon's polar craters. Students solve 4 problems...

Here is a quick puzzle-style worksheet for your aspiring astronomers. A code is printed at the top of the page and learners use it to fill in the blanks describing different phenomena or objects in outer space. The material does not even...

In this comet activity, students solve 3 problems using a composite image of the Temple 1 comet. Students determine the scale image, the size of the nucleus of the comet and the height of a cliff on the comet.

In this moon worksheet, students calculate information about the crater that was created by a massive impact. This worksheet has 3 problems to solve.

In this history worksheet, students complete multiple choice questions where they take a quiz on Crater Lake, the Greeks, and more. Students complete 4 questions.
