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.

Remote Sensing Ices on Mars (Main Portal)
Topic: Light and Spectra
Grade Level: 5-8, 9-12
Body: Mars

Short Description: Students analyze data collected by Mars spacecraft using three different energies of light -- visible light, infrared light and gamma rays -- to investigate the composition and distribution of ices at the high latitude regions of Mars.

Rivers on Mars?
Grade Level: K-4
Body: Mars

Short Description: Using a stream tables, students simulate the development of the Martian landscape through water flow and erosion. (This modified version of a middle school activity was created for young elementary students.)


Rover Races
Topic: Modeling Solar System Objects
Grade Level: K-4, 5-8
Body: Mars
Mission: Curiosity / MSL (Mars)

Short Description: Working in small teams, students pretend to be a rover and learn the constraints of operating a rover on Mars.


Scratching the Surface -- Carving Channels
Topic: Modeling Solar System Objects
Grade Level: 5-8
Body: Mars

Short Description: Students create channel features with flowing water. Their observations of the ways in which flowing water alters the surrounding terrain will be used as clues to draw conclusions about Mars' geologic past.
