In
this
activity,
students
download
NASA
Hubble
Space
Telescope
(HST)
images
of
the
Martian
polar
ice
caps
in
summer
and
winter.
Using
image
processing
techniques,
students
measure
and
compare
various
images
of
the
changing
Martian
and
Earth
polar
ice
caps.
By
completing
this
activity,
they
will
understand
that
the
sizes
of
the
polar
ice
caps
on
Earth
and
Mars
depend
on
the
lengths
of
the
seasons.

provides
an
overview
of
the
issues
surrounding
the
construction
of
the
Three
Gorges
Dam
across
the
Yangtze
River
in
China.
When
it
is
completed,
this
dam
will
produce
the
energy
of
15
nuclear
power
plants
and
tame
some
of
the
river's
deadliest
floods.
However,
it
is
also
the
subject
of
much
controversy.
