Description:

This lesson asks students to analyze the effects of low gravity environments on physical activity. Students will record how various physical activities compare on the Earth and the Moon. Students should use their imaginations regarding types of physical activities, but horizontal and vertical jumping distances should be included. Other suggestions may be the distance objects can be thrown, hit, or kicked, or the distance travelled by walking or running.

Measurement and Data

Solve problems involving measurement and conversion of measurements from a larger unit to a smaller unit.

2. Use the four operations to solve word problems involving distances, intervals of time, liquid volumes, masses of objects, and money, including problems involving simple fractions or decimals, and problems that require expressing measurements given in a larger unit in terms of a smaller unit. Represent measurement quantities using diagrams such as number line diagrams that feature a measurement scale.
