About This Lesson
Dirt guides students to use two separate KHWL (Know-How I Know- Want to Know- Learn) charts to organize their knowledge of Earth's soil and moon dirt. Working in teams, students create several slides of Earth soil for analysis. Through NASA eClips(TM) video segments, students review the rock cycle for rocks on Earth and learn about three types of lunar rocks. Students analyze simulated lunar regolith to make inferences about the formation of regolith. Student understanding is assessed using overlapping circle Venn diagrams.
