Neil Armstrong, the first man to walk on the Moon

Ever since Neil Armstrong spoke the famous words "That's one small step for man; one giant leap for mankind," those interested in his achievements have wondered what his experience was like. In this assignment, you will utilize the Lunar Lander simulation from the University of Colorado's PhET Interactive Simulations. When you access the simulation, you will be provided with some instructions on how the simulation operates. Try to see if you can land the Lunar Lander. Remember, if you crash, you get to start the game over; if Neil Armstrong had crashed, the mission would have been over. Once you have attempted to land the device on the Moon two to three times, complete the questions provided on the Lunar Lander Reflection document. Make sure to fully-answer each question, and use appropriate language to describe your experience.

Once you have completed the Lunar Lander Scientific Investigation Report, please submit your work to the dropbox.
