7th Grade: What we did today

Seventh grade is studying moon rocks.  Today we decided to take a look at the current news on moon rocks to bring our knowledge up to date.

We read the following articles:

Lunar discovery: Two new moon rock types
Water Found in Apollo Moon Rocks

Inside these articles are links and videos to provide more information so I strongly encourage every 7th grader to view these articles online as well.

7TH GRADE EXTRA CREDIT:
Every year I have students who believe strongly in the conspiracy theory that we never went to the Moon.  Here is a great article from NASA outlining their evidence that we did go to the Moon.  Write a 3 paragraph persuasive paper describing this evidence.  Write as if you are trying to convince someone that we went to the Moon.  DUE FRIDAY.  Will count as a 100 test grade.
