Recently, we had the Moon rocks in our classroom.

In science we were very lucky to have moon rocks. They came in very small samples and were hard to see without a microscope. We also talked to Chinese students who spoke English too. We talked about the moon rocks. The Chinese school was in California. We were able to communicate with them through Skype. It was fun to have seen the moon rocks. Only very few schools get to see them. I think we are very lucky.

There are 3 rocks and 3 solids on the lunar sample. The 3 rocks are Basalt, Breccia, Anorthosite. The 3 solids are Mare,Highlands,Orange.

NASA had actually ordered the astronaut back into the lunar module and didn't want him to go after the orange soil because he was running low on air. The astronaut went and got it anyway because he thought it was interesting. He took a chance doing that, but because of him, we got to see something that we would never have seen.

    We had Moon rocks in our class for a week. It was so nice to have the honor to have them.  It was fun learning about the Moon rocks.

We did three things with them. We taught another class about the moon rocks.  We looked at them under a microscope. We got to have the rocks for an entire week.  We were lucky because we Skyped with a school in California.  Thank you to NASA for letting us use the rocks. 

 For just about a week at school we were able to see the rock that have been on the Moon for millions of years. It is a thing that almost nobody in the world will get to say that they did that. When we saw the rocks they were not as impressive as you would think but you have to remember that they came from an object about 240 thousand miles away. Although we did not get them for to long, at least another school is enjoying them.

The moon rocks are so cool and there were little. When we got the moon rocks I thought we could hold them ,but it was cool any way to see them. I thought the colors were cool and some the rocks looked like they were rough and smooth. My science teacher got them because we were studying the moon in science .The color was so cool it was black with spots and the solid black and the other one was white.

We saw five moon rocks. One of the moon basalt so it look like it was glimmering.

A lunar sample came to our science a couple of weeks ago. It was pretty cool to be able to see rocks that are really from the moon. I expected the Moon rocks to be a lot bigger than just a little samples. The Moon rocks are kept in a glass disk. There were six different Moon samples they were, Basalt, Breccia, Anorthosite, Mare soil, Highland soil and Orange soil. The samples were a different little rocks and soil from the Moon. All samples are different colors because they are from different parts of the Moon like the highland soil is lighter than the Mare soil.

              When I saw the moon rocks it was very interesting to see. Not many people get to see rocks up that close. I almost touched them it was just less then a inch away. My favorite was anorthosite, because it was white and looked very interesting. I am very pleased that our teacher had moon rocks for us to see. I thought the moon rock were going to be huge but we got tiny ones, even though they were small I know that I will never go on the moon so it was very cool to see and touch the moon rocks

The Moon Rocks

By, CSMA

Having the moon rocks in our classroom was an amazing experience. It very interesting to see and hold a piece of the moon! We learned so much about the moon so we could know exactly what the moon rocks were made of. We learned that the moon rocks were made of Basalt, Breccia, Anorthosite. Basalst is made of crystals, and is usually a dark igneous rock. Breccia is a combination of different kinds of rock. Anthrosite is white, and mostly made of feldspar. Anthrosite is more than four billion years old! It was formed when the moon was young, and was made when crystals floated to the surface, and, well, crystallized. We learned about the moon in many different ways. We had a guest speaker come in and show us a slide show all about the moon! We did a scavenger hunt during class to learn more facts about the moon. Having the moon rocks in our own classroom was a wonderful experience to learn about Earth's natural satellite, the Moon.

MOON ROCKS

Getting to see moon rocks in a museum is cool, getting to see moon rocks under special supervision in the school is cooler and getting to have moon rocks in your class room only with your teacher and the class is awesome! That's what I got to experience, seeing moon rocks in my class room! How often does a teacher say “we're going to see moon rocks for our unit on the moon.” Now everyone including me were expecting a giant boulder of a rock but instead, when Mrs. Adams opened up the “Deal or no Deal” metal case, there were just pebbles and sand encased in a Lucite glass disc! I guess the fact that these pebbles and sand came from the moon compensated for the fact that they were so small. Different rocks had different stories of how they were made. So they all were very interesting in the end and I take back my comments on how small they were. I mean it is one small step for man but a giant leap for mankind when it comes to collecting these samples.

Recently, we had rocks from our moon in our classroom. There were six different samples in a round, plexi-glass casing. There was a white rock, Anorthosite, a black rock, Breccia, a dark rock with some lighter parts in it, Basalt, and 3 different soil samples: Mare Soil, Highland Soil, and Orange Soil.  The dark spots that you see on the moon are called maria. People used to think they were seas when they looked at them from the ground, so they all have names such as the Sea of Tranquility. One of the Apollo missions gathered soil samples from one of these maria. It is darker than the others.It is aptly named Mare Soil. The Highlands soil is from the white part of the moon, also known as the Highlands. It is lighter than the Mare Soil.

It was very interesting having something  from the moon in our classroom. Here is a picture.

Hey did you know that these rocks came from NASA! Wow! These rocks travels hundreds of miles. Amazing.

In class, we've been learning about moons so I thought I should do some research about since I'll be having a test on it, and this is what i discovered. Did you know that the moon can look different every night well its true? There are different settings or phases of the moon it could be a quarter, cresent, or gibbous moon. You see every night while our planet is revolving around the moon, the sun is reflecting light onto the moon. But the reason why we don't see the whole is because of where we are looking at the moon. Well that was interesting for me to learn and help me on the quiz. You can learn more about the moon by getting a telescope in your back yard.

This above is a picture of Moon rocks that NASA let us use for a while. It was really awesome to think that we had a piece of the Moon in our hands. It was fun to learn about the Moon and also space. We studied the rocks and found some very interesting things. It was really fun and interesting to see the Moon rocks.

These are the Moon rocks that Ms. Adams got from the government. They're kind of disappointing with their size, but they were still none-the-less awesome

This is a moon rock under a microscope. It is called Basalt and was formed millions of years ago.

This is a picture of Basalt from Nasa's moon rocks. The moon rocks were given to our 7^th grade science teacher through NASA. They are rocks from the moon. There were 6 different samples including Basalt (above)

Our school had the opportunity to have actual rocks from the Moon! They came in small pieces in a glass disc. We got different particles from different rocks. It was a really fun experience and a great learning experience. I feel very fortunate that this happened to our school. Thank you NASA!

Our school had the opportunity to get actual rocks from the Moon. The rocks came in small particles in a glass disc. One of the rocks that we got was Basalt. It is lunar and dark. Another rock that we got was Breccia. It is made from when the Moon's surface and a meteorite collide. Another rock was Anorthosite. It is a white rock that is made from feldspar. The Moon rocks were a great learning learning experience.

There is no air on the moon. Astronauts go to the moon. They have to wear suits because they can't breathe. They use an oxygen machine in the suits.

The moon looks white and grey. There are different kind of rocks on the moon. There aren't any oceans on the moon, but there are places called seas. I got to see moon rocks. They were grey. The astronauts brought them back. Someone from NASA delivered the rocks to my teacher. They were in a grey box.

I like moon rocks. They're the best thing in the world!

The moon rocks were very cool. Even though I was expecting something bigger it was soo cool. They looked a lot like rocks on earth. But the soil looks different. We got 3 different rocks. Basalt, Breccia, and Anorthosite. There were also 3 different soils Mare Soil, highland Soil, and orange soil. To me the orange soil didn't look orange.
