Activities in Planetary Geology was developed for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration with the guidance, support, and cooperation of many individuals and groups.
This educator's guide features exercises grouped into five units:
1) introduction to geologic processes,
2) impact cratering activities,
3) planetary atmosphere,
4) planetary surfaces and
5) geologic mapping.
