Mission to the Moon, Apollo Lesson

This product includes a 150 slide Interactive PowerPoint slideshow about the Apollo missions. Also included is a three page follow-along worksheet, and opportunity for additional research. This a fun slideshow about a fantastic topic. Video links, amazing visuals, and fun simulation for a few volunteers is provided. This lesson runs 50 minutes plus.

This is a really nice PowerPoint full of exciting links and visuals. This PowerPoint begins describing the space race. Technology from the mid 60's is described and the anatomy of the Saturn V rocket provided. The Apollo 11 spacecraft is then shown and the parts described in a step by step process. The astronauts are introduced and the descent to the moon described. A link to the eagle has landed has your students listen and watch this historic landing. The ascent back to the command module is described. A neat activity has your students recreate the docking of the lunar module and command module. Directions are included. The reentry is described and splash down. A link to Google Moon and research sheet has your students visit all of the Apollo landing sites and gather information. (This can be visited by the teacher on the screen or if you have the technology available student can explore on their own). The PowerPoint concludes with a series of challenge questions. An arrow points to a part of the spacecraft or astronaut and your students say the answer. The next slide reveals the answer and frames another part / astronaut. This is a visually stunning PowerPoint that will engage your students and sets up the Google Moon research well. Thank you for your interest.
