You are the Science Officer on this project. Your assignment is to research the conditions for living that exist on the moon and compare them with conditions that exist on Earth. After the comparison has been made, you and your fellow scientists will share information and determine whether the moon could be recreated.

Use the following questions to help you in your research.

How far from the Earth is the Moon?

How does the Moon travel through space?

What landforms cover the surface of the Moon?

What is the surface of the Moon made of?

What are the conditions necessary to support life on Earth?

What are the conditions that exist on the Moon?

Are any physical dangers present on the Moon?

Could the Moon support life as we know it here on Earth?

What would be needed on the Moon to duplicate the living conditions that we have here on Earth?

How could this be accomplished?

Would the Moon be a good site for colonization?
