Did you ever hear that the moon was made of green
cheese? Or, that there was a man in the Moon? Perhaps
you even looked up into the night sky and thought
you saw a face. Well, thanks to the Apollo Missions
we have found out that there is much about the Moon
that we did not know and much more that we need
to learn.
In
order to write a report you will need to follow
some basic steps. First you need to select a topic.
Your teacher may have assigned you to find out about
a specific Apollo Mission, or to research the Lunar
Module or to find out more about the 6 different
landing sites on the Moon. Maybe you want to find
out about missions that are being planned for others
to travel to the Moon now that the Apollo program
has ended.
Make
a list of questions about your topic that you would
like to find answers for or list points which you
think others should know about the topic. Your teacher
may have a list of items you need to include in
your report.
Next
you need to locate some sources to use for your
research. The links in the Webliography and
Other Resources can help you locate information
about Apollo Missions and the Moon.(You can also
see the resources section on this site for other
links to useful information.) Library books and
CD Roms in your school library can also provide
you with information to use.

Take
careful notes as you research your topic. Remember
to keep an accurate list of your resources, or where
you found your information for your own bibliography.
When you have enough information to answer the questions
you listed or can write about the points your teacher
has suggested, it is time to write the rough draft.
Be sure to edit your work carefully and check your
facts.
When
you are ready to publish your finished report you
may want to create an online report. The kids project
section at Web
Monkey can help you do that if your school does
not have a place to post your work or if you need
help learning how to do this.
