Comment on this resource
This interactive activity lets you superimpose familiar objects onto images of various features on Mars so you can see just how large they are. The features include crater landing sites, the largest volcano in the solar system, and a headwater area, etc. The objects include a school bus, stadium, Texas, Hawaii, and the contiguous USA. The activity is fun and educational.
