Need project based astronomy unit - middle school

Hello, I am currently working on a middle school project based inquiry unit for astronomy and was looking for some recommendations and resources. We are a progressive school and focus on experiential learning vs relying solely on textbook.  Anyone come across NGSS aligned thematic units online? Thank you for your help

Hello- I may be a little late in responding to your request, but I know of a program you may wish to get your students involved in. Arizona State University runs the MSIP (Mars Student Imaging Project) program. I had students involved in another of their projects (Mars Exploration Student Data Teams) some years back. The MSIP program, from what I have read about it, is quite similar. You can check it out at this website: http://marsed.mars.asu.edu/msip
