Launch
Students will launch the project by experiencing space phenomena firsthand, analyzing Artemis images for positional clues, building shared investigation routines in their notebooks, and completing an early checkpoint that sets expectations for accurate modeling, evidence use, and revision.

Launch Mystery
Students will investigate Artemis images and Sun-Earth-Moon phenomena through hands-on modeling, careful observation, and evidence logging. They will refine investigable questions, test early explanations with peers, and produce a feedback-informed question and hypothesis that can guide the next phase of model planning.

Plan Methodology
Students will design and peer-review a clear investigation plan for building accurate Sun-Earth-Moon and Artemis models. They will decide what evidence counts, how scale and position will be represented, and how they will document assumptions, calculations, and revisions before moving into evidence collection.
