In this lesson students explore the idea of water on Mars. Many active links allow the students to come to their own conclusions about water on Mars and explore how Earth might appear from space without water. Other links provide the students with the opinions of experts. This is the eighth in a series of interactive student lessons from the Martian Sun Times.

This interactive activity allows users to explore an ancient floodplain on Mars in 3D. The 3D model was built using actual data from orbiting spacecraft. One can view the area from above or approach the surface and fly over it, looking for markers hidden in the terrain. Informative feedback adds to the value of this activity.
