Moon Mission Family Event
Sample Agendas
Each Family ASTRO Leader Kit is designed for two full family events. Because families may attend the first session with enthusiasm, but not a lot of knowledge, it is important to schedule a second follow up session. This gives families a chance to digest some of what they have learned in the first session, continue their learning at home, and then have the opportunity to come back with questions. Answering questions and encouraging new interest are key components of Family ASTRO's positive impact on family learning.

Session 1 · Time Needed: 90 Minutes
Time Needed
15 minutes

Activity
Toad in the Moon, Our Changing Moon, part 1

Notes
Welcome families individually as they arrive. Encourage them to complete the station activities at their table. If snacks are provided, point them out and allow families to snack while working. Both station activities should be done by all families. Call the group together and make sure everyone has signed in and has a name badge. Explain agenda and have each family share a Moon story from the Toad activity. Families get to check their own work from the Changing Moon station using two new pieces of information: demo with Styrofoam ball and map of the Full Moon. Families construct a scale model of the Earth/Moon system using playdough. Families measure how high each member can jump on Earth and then calculate how high each could jump on the Moon. Families appreciate this opportunity to give input and their comments may help you plan your next activity.

Session 2 · Time Needed: 90 Minutes

Time Needed
15 minutes

Activity
Crash Landing

Notes
Welcome families individually as they arrive. Encourage them to get started on the activity at their table. If snacks are provided, point them out and allow families to snack while working. Call the group together and make sure everyone has signed in and has a name badge. Explain agenda. The Crash Landing activity can lead to pretty extensive discussion if people come up with creative alternative uses for the items recovered. Be sure to leave time for discussion here. Take a few minutes to introduce the unique features of the Moon Mission game. Tie in to some of the environmental discoveries made during the Crash Landing discussion and to how Moon phases look from Earth and can serve as a timer for the game. Take a moment to interrupt game play to find out what questions have come up. Families appreciate this opportunity and their comments may help you plan your next activity.
