This interactive activity allows users to drop familiar objects onto images of floodplains on Mars to get an idea of just how large they are. The objects to be moved include a school bus, stadium, the state of Texas, the state of Hawaii, and the entire US. The activity is fun and educational, with interesting information embedded throughout.
