The Space Race Documentary: Student Questions
This Space Race Documentary set of questions for students will help students think deeply about the content in the film rather than listing what happens. It addresses the themes of racism in history and today, humans in space, and the debate about funding for space research. There are pre-movie questions to spark thinking, general during movie questions and questions about specific people, and post-movie questions to assess student understanding and prompt discussions.

3D model of a Comet w/ Peppermints
A 3D model of a comet brings the lesson from the textbook to life for your students. You can make this with any available art supplies, or you can make edible ones out of candy.I went to the manager of the local Sonic and asked for a bag of the peppermints they give out with each order. These peppermints became the nucleus for many of the students models. You can expand with this project into other models of objects in the universe.
