The lunar lander was manually controlled to avoid boulders and craters. After a four-day trip from Earth, the lunar lander, named Eagle, detached from the command module orbiting the Moon and touched down in Mare Tranquilitatis, a relatively smooth and level area. In 1969, Apollo 11 became the first manned mission to land on the Moon. Calculate the gravitational acceleration and gravitational force Learn about the differences between the Moon and Earth. Calculate the acceleration and velocity during the landing.Ĭomparison between landing on the Earth and the Moon. Complete a risk assessment and a design study. Learn to design a project with a fixed budget and requirements. Performing a risk assessment study and a design study. Working in a team under time and money constraints.ĭesign and build a lunar lander. Design a project taking into account a budget and risk management.Solve a problem using Newton’s second law of motion.Understand the relationship between mass and gravitational force.Identify the forces involved in landing on the Earth and Moon surfaces.In the design of the lunar lander, students must take risk factors and budgeting into account. They will explore which factors should be considered when landing on the Moon, in comparison to landing on Earth. IIn this set of activities, students will plan, design, and build a landing module to secure the survival of the crew (in the form of an egg-naut) landing on the Moon.
