Walt Bickel knew a great deal about astronomy. In fact, his "television" was found at night under Mojave skies. He had an old recliner that he called his star chair, knew the heavens all his life. He had a quality telescope, and read extensively about the heavens. He also had an encounter with a UFO, and talked about a craft that once hovered over his cabin. He kept a log of sightings and unusual lights in the sky. He even built an electrical device that registered electrical charges in the camp, believing that this happened when a UFO was near. This, from a man whose only electrical source was batteries. He loved the moon and talked and dreamed about it often. He enjoyed making up and telling stories about life on other planets, and travel to the moon. It seems science teachers might, in the spirit of Bickel Camp, invent lessons that would help students understand how people who lived like Walt Bickel, away from the city and with no city lights, might use the moon and understand the stars. A suggested project on the moon is presented on this page. Students are to create a multi-media project on the moon. Your presentation must show that, among other things, you understand the phases of the moon, and its relationship to Earth. In addition, you may explore other interesting aspects of the Earth-Moon relationship and present it as well. Blast off by clicking on one or more of the link buttons at the right, and explore the site, find and copy interesting graphics, cut and paste information about moon phases into a word processing document.
