This resource guide, developed to supplement Where in the World is the Moon? by Molly Davis, is also a learning tool for any other children's book about Earth's moon and could be adapted to support other topics. The guide would support teachers, librarians, homeschoolers, and parents of students in kindergarten through second grade. The guide offers ideas and activities to integrate Where in the World is the Moon? or other children's books about Earth's moon into English language arts (ELA), science, and related arts curricula.

The only work to date to collect data gathered during the American and Soviet missions in an accessible and complete reference of current scientific and technical information about the Moon.

Do you know that it takes three days for astronauts to reach the moon, or that the moon was probably created when a large planet collided with Earth? Can you imagine what a lunar sea looks like, or a lunar eclipse? Take a guided your to the moon and discover for yourself the Earth's only natural satellite-from its volcanoes and craters to its valleys and secretive far side. Prepare for lift off!

These materials have been designed for use in upper elementary through high schools. This book contains: * information on the Lunar Sample Disk, * Activity Matrices -- Skills & Standards, * a Teacher's Guide, * Moon ABCs Fact Sheet, * Rock ABCs Fact Sheet, * Progress in Lunar Science Chart, * 17 activities, * Resource Section for each unit, * Glossary, * NASA Educational Resources. The "Teacher's Guide" titled "The Moon: Gateway to the Solar System," pages 1-16, provides background information about the Moon. It tells the story of the Moon's geological history and how scientists try to decipher the story. This background information may be useful reading for students as well. Key facts about the Moon appear on the "Moon ABCs" and "Rock ABCs" pages. These pages were named to emphasize the basic nature of the information. The "Progress in Lunar Science Chart" summarizes our knowledge about the Moon from 1959 to 1997. The activities are divided into three units: Pre-Apollo, Learning from Apollo, and the Future. Classroom activities promote problem solving, communication skills, and teamwork.
