I need help with a report about...


The Red Planet
Mars is a cold desert world. It is half the diameter of Earth and has the same amount of dry land. Like Earth, Mars has seasons, polar ice caps, volcanoes, canyons and weather, but its atmosphere is too thin for liquid water to exist for long on the surface. There are signs of ancient floods on Mars, but evidence for water now exists mainly in icy soil and thin clouds.

Life: Here? There? Elsewhere? The Search for Life on Venus and Mars
Grade Level: 5-8
Body: Venus, Mars

Short Description: Students investigate the phenomena of life through activities that introduce them to the multidisciplinary sciences of planetology and exobiology. Simulating Venusian and Martian conditions, they explore various means of detecting life in the atmosphere and soils of Earth. They use their findings to propose a spacecraft design for life detection on Venus and Mars.


Life: Here? There? Elsewhere? The Search for Life on Venus and Mars (Mission 11 Alternate "Mission to Mars Spectroscopy")
Grade Level: 5-8
Body: Venus, Mars

Short Description: Students investigate the phenomena of life through activities that introduce them to the multidisciplinary sciences of planetology and exobiology. Simulating Venusian and Martian conditions, they explore various means of detecting life in the atmosphere and soils of Earth. They use their findings to propose a spacecraft design for life detection on Venus and Mars.


Life: Here? There? Elsewhere? The Search for Life on Venus and Mars (PowerPoint)
Grade Level: 5-8
Body: Venus, Mars

Short Description: Students investigate the phenomena of life through activities that introduce them to the multidisciplinary sciences of planetology and exobiology. Simulating Venusian and Martian conditions, they explore various means of detecting life in the atmosphere and soils of Earth.

Mars Activity Book: # 3 Areology -- The Study of Mars
Topic: Modeling Solar System Objects
Grade Level: K-4, 5-8
Body: Mars

Short Description: PP 11-15. Participants model a core sample of the Martian surface to investigate the history and geologic of Mars. Note: This is a 129 page PDF.


Mars Exploration - Is There Water on Mars? - #1: How Hot Can You Make Water?
Grade Level: 9-12
Body: Mars

Short Description: PP. 1-6. Students become aware of their preconceptions by considering how how they could heat water. They then test their preconceived ideas by heating water and measuring its temperature. At some point near 100 degrees Celsius, students find that the water temperature no longer rises. They graph the data and try to make sense of the temperature plateau. Note: This is a 105 page PDF.


Mars Pathfinder: Egg Drop and Landing
Topic: Modeling Solar System Objects
Grade Level: 5-8
Body: Sun, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Asteroids, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Comets, Kuiper Belt & Oort Cloud, Earth's Moon, Pluto
Mission: Mars Pathfinder (Mars)

Short Description: Design, build, and test a system for landing on the surface of Mars without breaking the cargo, an egg.


Mars Robotics Lesson Backgrounds
Grade Level: 5-8, 9-12
Body: Mars

Short Description: Robotic activities provide ideal ways to help students understand the role of engineering and technology in today's world.


Mars Robotics Lesson Plans
Grade Level: 5-8, 9-12
Body: Mars

Short Description: From looking at personal robots to those we send to other worlds, this set of 12 activities will help students learn the different elements necessary to design and build a robotic mission to the Red Planet.
