In these activities, students will become familiar with the surface of the Moon, choose and reason as a team where they would land as part of the Artemis mission.

 

In Activity 1, the landing area will not be delimited, it can be any area of the visible or hidden side of the Moon that they choose with coherent reasoning. In Activity 2, students are provided with 9 positions identified as possible landing zones for the Artemis III mission, as they are close to natural water reservoirs.

NOTE: The resolution of Google Earth is not good enough in the area of the poles, what is desired is to get a reasoning in either of the two activities.
