The hands-on activities in this educator resource guide lay the conceptual groundwork for understanding questions fundamental to the field of astrobiology. They enable students to examine the nature of life, what it requires, its limits, and where it might be found. Through these experiences, students learn important ideas related to the search for extraterrestrial life.
