Students explore NASA's Earth Facts website to investigate Earth's physical characteristics, atmosphere, structure, orbit, rotation, moon, and ability to support life. Working in collaborative teams, students become Earth science experts, researching specific topics and presenting their findings to the class. Students analyze scientific information, communicate findings, and develop a deeper understanding of the planet they call home.

This activity introduces students to NASA’s Artemis missions (II–V) through interactive research, collaborative learning, and STEM exploration. Using the official NASA Artemis website, students investigate the goals, technology, astronauts, and future plans of NASA’s return-to-the-Moon program.

Students work in pairs or small groups to explore mission information, read informational texts, analyze visuals and videos, take research notes, and create presentations or digital projects to share their findings with the class. The lesson strengthens reading comprehension, scientific vocabulary, digital literacy, collaboration, and presentation skills while helping students understand how the Artemis missions are preparing humans for future exploration of the Moon and Mars.
