Where was Archimedes to stand? (Grades 6-8)
Archimedes once said "Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum and I will move the Earth." And where was he to stand? To work and live in space, visionaries have centralized our exra-terrestrial activities on the surfaces of rocky planets and moons. To make effective use of these far off lands will require a deep understanding of their geology, which we will explore in this session.
