Teachers
Include the interactive lab Orion's Path to your classroom (requires a login).
See the moon as you've never seen it before, and fly there on Orion --- the spacecraft that will take future explorers into space. Moon phases, eclipses, craters, tides, and the dark side --- all come to light in this lively lesson with NASA astronaut LeRoy Chiao, host Katrina Miller, and University of Colorado Professor David Klaus. In virtual labs, drive a lunar rover on moon rocks, and make your own oxygen and water from resources that you find in space. Flying to the moon and meeting the challenges of survival in space is a fantastic learning experience in Orion’s Path.
