Mission
Geography
uses
existing
NASA
data
and
images
where
possible
to
engage
students
in
active,
hands-on
inquiry,
modeling
the
scientific
method
and
developing
students'
understanding
of
environment-society
relations
and
Earth
science.
In
this
module,
students
compare
the
amount
of
land
and
water
on
Earth;
consider
craters
as
evidence
of
a
lack
of
water
on
other
planets;
define
and
locate
water

to
present-day
theories
regarding
what
dinosaurs
were
like,
as
well
as
what
happened
to
them.
Topics

The
goal
of
this
module
is
for
students
to
investigate
the
factors
involved
in
the
occurrence
of
snowfall.
It
allows
students
to
explore
snow
storms
by
learning
about
various
aspects
of
weather
such
as
precipitation,
weather
maps,
moisture,
air
masses
and
air
movement.
Students
listen
to
stories
about
a
past
snow
storm
in
the
Puget
Sound
area,
conduct
interviews,
complete
activities,
and
look
at

to
learn
about
organisms
that
live
in
extreme
environments
in
the
deep
ocean
and
come
to
understand
the
importance
of
ocean
exploration.
This

This module teaches students about the soils on Mars, compared with soils here on Earth. In these labs, students investigate the heat absorption and transfer properties of various soils to make an inference about Martian soil. This module provides follow-up questions and extension activities for teachers.
