Friday: Yesterday, we talked about EVIDENCE and its role in science. For the first five of the following, you must make a CLAIM and support it with EVIDENCE and a RATIONALE. For Problem 6, make a claim on the PRO side and the CON side. Each and every one of you must do this and hand it in on paper, using what you remember from yesterday. While you may discuss at your table, no outside resources allowed. Hand in. This should take 15-20 minutes.

Please subdivide into the groups, and take a look at each of the Lunar Missions Apollo 11-17. You need to prepare a Highlight slide show that tells us the basic highlights--who, what, where, why, and how they traveled. The first place to start is by going to
http://moon.google.com
The data shown will send you to a list of Nasa data if you click on the link that accompanies the photos.
