In this lesson students reviewed some of the ways that people have learned about the Red Planet. We looked at photos of Orbiters, Landers, and Rovers. Then students compared and contrasted regular sand and pretend Mars space sand. Students had fun experimenting with the Mars sand!
Dr. Sullivan and Mrs. Donovan spent a week at JPL at a NASA workshop and saw the Mars Yard with the rovers.
