Meet Katherine Johnson...
@stemettes | #stemillions Meet Her: Katherine is a mathematician who contributed to the US space programs with the early application
- f computers at NASA. She calculated the
trajectories and back-up return paths for the early NASA missions and the 1969 Apollo 11 flight to the
- Moon. Her calculations were critical to the success
- f these missions. Katherine also did the
calculations for the mission to Mars.

(slides 7-10).
- r
EXPLORE: make a wall display of the 8 phases of the moon
(slides 11-14).
SLIDE 7
MAKE
@stemettes | #stemillions

Remember to take a photo of your solar system before you eat it all!
SLIDE 8
MAKE

@stemettes | #stemillions
BONUS: ★ Include the sun and all the moons from each planet if you have time. ★ Can you find out the distance between each planet as well?
SLIDE 11
EXPLORE
@stemettes | #stemillions
FACT: There are 8 different phases of the moon. Get into groups of two or
- three. In your groups you
will be making a poster all about the different phases
- f the moon.
SLIDE 12
EXPLORE
@stemettes | #stemillions
On a computer, go to bit.ly/024explore Try to find the following information: ★ What is the name of each phase? ★ Why does this phase happen? ★ At what point in the lunar cycle does this phase happen? (Beginning, middle, end) ★ What does ‘waning’ and ‘waxing’ mean?
SLIDE 13
EXPLORE
@stemettes | #stemillions
Now you’ve done the research, make a poster or wall display to explain all of the information you found
- ut.
SLIDE 14
EXPLORE
@stemettes | #stemillions
