LPI Moon PostersKen Murphy / 2:03 am March 26th, 2009
Librarian’s Note: One of the many cool handouts available at the LPSC. “DK Eyewitness Books: Moon” (w/CD)Ken Murphy / 4:35 am February 10th, 2009 Mitton, Jacqueline “The Moon: Updated”Ken Murphy / 12:51 am January 21st, 2009 Chrismer, Melanie 3-D Moon GlobeKen Murphy / 5:09 pm January 17th, 2009  Moore, John Librarian’s Note: Continuing his efforts to provide Moon-related educational materials, John has added a craft Moon globe to supplement his previous Moonposter. What kid doesn’t enjoy a craft project? And they end up with their own personal Moon globe to study while learning about the Moon. This is a great addition to the Lunar Library. “Exploring Our Solar System: The Moon - Earth’s Neighbor”Ken Murphy / 2:45 am December 30th, 2008 Jefferis, David “Armstrong’s Moon Rock”Ken Murphy / 10:07 pm October 31st, 2008 Bailey, Gerry & Karen Foster. Illus. by Leighton Noyes & Karen Radford Launch Magazine Vol. 3 #5Ken Murphy / 11:58 pm September 30th, 2008  Launch Magazine Best of the Moon 2008 - Youth High Frontier Fact Librarian’s Note: Includes an article on the 2008 Lunar Regolith Excavation Challenge, which in my view is an incredible opportunity to do some ‘prep work’ for working on the Moon. There are a variety of techniques and designs applied to the challenge, and in this free market of ideas the better designs are going to rise to the top. The cover story is lushly illustrated look at the upcoming Hubble-servicing mission, including a cool picture of some of the custom tools. That is one sexy-looking drill. I also have a strong desire to add the Flown to the Moon Beta Cloth Patch Signed by Apollo 11 Crew found in the auction advert to the Lunar Library, though the Library’s budget is nowhere close to being anywhere close to affording something like that. I’ll just stick with books, magazines and videos… “Kids to Space Mission Plans: An Educator’s Guide” (w/CD)Ken Murphy / 1:45 am June 24th, 2008  Schorer, Lonnie Jones & Barbara Sprungman David Best of the Moon 2008 - Youth Educator Materials Librarian’s Note: So what happens when you write an absolutely top-notch phenomenal book for the youngsters, and none of the teachers can use it because it doesn’t have instructions on how to use it to teach space? You write up a curriculum guide that touches on all of the different topics in Kids to Space (that would be 94 mission plans to choose from). For the Moon chapter activity they use the ‘Exploring the Moon’ Teacher’s Guide and a Lunar Disk exercise for certified instructors. Getting certified is not a difficult experience, even your friendly Lunar Librarian is certified. In conjunction with a copy of Kids to Space this is a powerful educational tool. The ‘Standards’ cover Art, Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, Technology (ITEA & ISTA), Careers, News and Geography. Aimed at 5th through 8th grade, it’s divided into three sections: Planning to Go to Space, Visiting and Living in Space, and Exploring Space. Includes a CD-ROM with even more curricular goodies. Perfect summer reading for your favorite teacher! “Word World: Rocket to the Moon” (DVD)Ken Murphy / 3:13 am May 29th, 2008 “Word World: Rocket to the Moon” Librarian’s Note: Meant for the youngest audiences, a fun visit to the M-o-o-n in a r-o-c-k-e-t. “Moon Exploration: Fact & Fantasy”Ken Murphy / 10:27 am May 25th, 2008 LaFontaine, Bruce Librarian’s Note: Took the nephews to Frontiers of Flight Museum today, and picked up an extra copy of this one to donate to the NSS of North Texas Santa Space Toy drive this year. It’s the best Moon-related coloring book I’ve found. “The Zula Patrol Explore Space!” (DVD)Ken Murphy / 1:51 am March 25th, 2008  Liberation Kids Librarian’s Note: Surprisingly educational for all of its little kid wackiness. Comes with a set of removable plastic clings of the Solar system. The packaging said it was a Borders Books exclusive, click the image. “Jump into Science: Moon”Ken Murphy / 11:43 pm January 1st, 2008 Tomecek, Steve.
