Making a Monument

$5.00

Art

Grade Lvl:3+

Launch students into space science with this hands-on engineering challenge exploring how and why the Moon orbits Earth! In this lesson, learners investigate gravitational force and motion to understand what keeps the Moon in orbit. Using this knowledge, students design and build a model that demonstrates a realistic Moon orbit around a globe, experimenting with stability, circular motion, and balance. The process of designing a working orbit model helps students visualize complex space concepts, and the interactive testing makes learning about celestial motion truly out of this world!

Why do we create a meaningful and realistic monument?
