Mission to Mars

For our last few science lessons the students have been given challenges to "survive" on Mars, much like the upcoming Mars 1 space mission.  One of our tasks was to create a poster showing only 6 items needed to survive an 8 hour surface walk.  Another task was to use the knowledge we have of our own water cycle to make fresh drinking water out of Mars' possibly salty underground water.  If you're interested in learning more about Mars, check out the Mission to Mars links on the left hand side of the blog.

How to survive an 8 hour surface walk using only 6 items!

Studying the water cycle

Designing mini atomospheres

Testing theories

Checking designs

We've come to a group consensus!

It works!!!!!
