Introduction: the earth is becoming way too crowded and people are starting to leave the earth and move to the moon.  it is an exciting adventure for everyone.  you are very excited to go because you love traveling and this will be a new and exciting experience for everyone.  all of your friends and family are traveling with you.  it is time to board the space shuttle and as you buckle your seat belt, you think to yourself about all of the unknown aspects about the moon and space and how different the earth and the moon are.  you wonder if anyone else has been thinking about these possiblities and start to worry.

 
 
 
Your Challenge: your challenge is to do research on the internet to find more information about the moon.  the information you are looking for consists of the differences between the moon and the earth, the seasons and night and day on the moon, the landscape, the climate, the temperature, your weight on the moon  and interesting facts about the moon.  this information will be used to form a report with your group compiling all of the information and after, making a model of life on the moon.
