Understand how our view of the solar system has changed over time and how discoveries made have led to our changing our view of the solar system. Learn planetary characteristics such as number of moons, size, composition, type of atmosphere, gravity, temperature and surface features. Understand the movement of planetary bodies. Understand which planetary characteristics are more important than others when it relates to our understanding of other worlds. Understand how proximity to the sun influences planets. Understand the methods and tools scientists use to learn about other planets and moons in our solar system. Understand the conditions needed for a habitable world and determine if there are habitable worlds in our solar system or outside the solar system. Understand how we look for and study solar systems other than our own. 1.Complex Knowledge: demonstrations of learning that go aboveand above and beyond what was explicitly taught. 2.Knowledge: meeting the learning goals and expectations. 3.Foundational knowledge: simpler procedures, isolated details, vocabulary. 4.Limited knowledge: know very little details but working toward a higher level.

Apollo 11

Apollo 12 November 14, 1969 Lightning strike during launch nearly aborted the mission; successful landing near Surveyor 3 probe; two EVAs; returned Surveyor parts to earth; first controlled LM ascent stage impact after jettison; first use of deployable S-band antenna; two lightning strikes after liftoff with brief loss of fuel cells and telemetry; lunar TV camera damaged by accidental exposure to sun.

at an altitude of about 6,500 ft (2,000 m), Pete Conrad saw a bright flash of light and the capsule's master alarm began wailing in distress. As Conrad later recalled, "I was aware of a white light. I knew that we were in the clouds. And although I was watching the gauges, I was aware of a white light. The next thing I noted was that I heard the master alarm ringing in my ears, and I glanced over to the caution and warning panel and it was a sight to behold."

Apollo 13 April 11, 1970 Mission aborted after oxygen tank explosion on outward leg, cancelling the landing; LM used as crew "lifeboat" for safe return.

Apollo 14 January 31, 1971 Successful landing at site intended for Apollo 13; mission overcame docking problems, faulty LM abort switch and delayed landing radar acquisition; first color video images from the lunar surface; first materials science experiments in space; two EVAs

Apollo 15 July 26, day lunar stay and extensive geology investigations; first use of lunar rover (17.25 miles driven; 3 lunar surface EVAs, plus deep space EVA on return to retrieve orbital camera film from SM.

Apollo 15 – The Leaders and Best

Apollo 16 April 16, 1972 Only landing in lunar highlands; malfunction in a backup CSM yaw gimbal delayed landing and reduced stay in lunar orbit; 3 lunar EVAs plus deep space EVA.

Apollo 17 December 7, 1972 Last Apollo lunar landing; most recent human flight beyond low Earth orbit (as of 2016); only lunar mission with a scientist (geologist); 3 lunar EVAs plus deep space EVA
