Lost on the Moon (5 CSG)

Our fifth grade CSG has been working with an activity called Lost on the Moon. In this work, students must rank the importance of 15 items they have while lost on the moon. FYI, their ship crashed, and these were the only things surviving - save themselves! Students must rank the importance of the items and then rank them again as a group.

We will look at how NASA would rank the items and then determine 'error points' for their decisions, both individual and as a group. Should lead to some interesting discussions!

We'll wrap up with a little writing assignment - more about that upon its completion.

At any rate, here is a video of some of the initial discussion about group ranking. Enjoy!
