Go to the Moon with ScienceWiz(R). From phases, eclipses, craters, origins, tidal locking, moon dust, moon rocks, to the discovery of water-ice -- prepare for mankind's return to the Moon with this 52 pages, fully illustrated book. Are we going to colonize the Moon? Learn how the giant lava tubes discovered just below the Moon's surface may be where people construct habitable Moon bases -- perhaps in your lifetime. PROJECTS INCLUDE: Modeling the phases of the Moon Exploring the mysteries of the far side, not visible from the Earth Making your own craters Acting out tidal locking Learning what craters teach us about the Moon's history Creating a model of the layers of the Moon with soft clay. Let the model it harden. Cut it open to see the inside structures from core to mantle. Model a solar and lunar eclipse. Replicate the happy coincidence, unique to our planet, that gives Earthlings a total eclipse of the Sun. Of course, eat astronaut ice-cream.
