The Mission to Mars project

Plan for today:

• Introduction to the new project.
• Start first assignments.

Background:

We, humans, are living on Earth. We know what is necessary to live there. However, Earth is getting full and resources (like gas, oil, minerals, water) are limited.

It is therefore useful to explore if it is possible to live on a different planet. 

Mars is the planet closest to Earth, and we know a great deal about it.

Using the knowledge and skills you have learned this year in Science, you need to explore how to live on Mars.

Steps:

1. Describe the differences between Mars and Earth.

2. Investigate what makes Mars easier to live on or more difficult to live on.

3. Create solutions to the problems you will face on Mars.

4. Make a poster of your solutions.

Grading (1x):

You will be graded on:

• teamwork (who does what)
• the process (the templates: are these complete and correct)
• the poster and presentation

Teams:

You will work in the group you are sitting in

Practicalities:

Create a google space.

Add all team members.

Add the project document.

Homework for next time:

Complete and submit the worksheet of lesson 1.

(1 person of each group can mail it to me)
