The 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing was July 20, 2019.
We updated our The First Moon Landing unit study, which includes dozens and dozens of resources. With the renewed interest, we added additional high-quality and interesting finds.
Below are a few resources that pertain primarily to the 50th anniversary of the moon landing.
Summer is a great time to keep ’em learning — and the Apollo 11 anniversary is a great opportunity!
Enjoy!
