Astronaut Lander -- On the Go Lesson

Moon landers heading to the moon can travel as fast as 24,000 miles per hour! These spacecrafts need to slow their speed before touching the surface in order to land safely. Today you will explore gravity, motion and forces to build a lander that will help your “astronauts” (marshmallows) safely land when dropped from a height of one foot.

These To Go Lessons can be used to create a "grab and go" style activity with supplies included. Add your local contact information, print, and cut each sheet in half. The left side can be used on the outside of the paper bag or box to identify the activity, and the right side can be placed in the package as an instruction sheet.

Youth-serving organizations in Iowa are encouraged to contact their local Iowa State University Extension and Outreach county office to explore partnership opportunities in administering this program.
