Astronaut Neil Armstrong was the first man to step foot on the lunar surface on July 16, 1969.

Mentally ill people used to be called “lunatics”
because people thought that moon made people
crazy.
Equal or Equi-The same as, or balanced
Examples• Equinox – (nox = night) When the Earth
receives the same amount of daytime as nighttime.
There is a Spring Equinox and a Fall Equinox. Why does it make sense that there is no Winter or Summer Equinox? What is different in the Winter and Summer?

Equal or Equi-The same as, or balanced
Examples• Equilibrium – when an object is at rest because the
forces are equal on all sides.• Chemical equilibrium – when a reaction occurs
equally both ways. The reactants & products are equal.- The golf ball was at equilibrium on the golf tee until it was hit by
the golf club. What were the equal forces? What made them unequal?

Apollo was the Greek god of light and music. He drove a chariot pulling the sun across the sky. Apollo 11 was the name of the first manned mission to the moon. Apollo’s sister was named Artemis but was also had another name. She was the goddess of the moon and the hunt. What do you think her other name might be?

Why do you think they didn’t name
the moon missions after Artemis
instead of Apollo? Might be a good question to ask
the NASA people when you see them later this
month.
