Colonizing Mars Video
Introduction:
Scientists at NASA today are contemplating how to colonize mars. This is no easy task, as these scientists must take all aspects of a biosphere into account. For example, these scientists must consider:
· Nutrient and chemical cycles
· Food webs
· Interdependence of organisms
· Geography
· Space flight and transportation
· Construction of buildings
· Energy Resources
· Etc.
Your Task:
You are a part of a group of scientists at NASA tasked with the mission to colonize mars. You must take everything into consideration. What factors will you need to consider to make sure human life can exist in your colony? You must figure out how you will eat, what you will eat, where you will sleep and rest, how you will breath, where will you get energy to use, etc.
Assignments:
Assignment 1: Habitable Zone/Goldilocks Zone
Assignment 2: What are the factors needed for life to exist? (research and cartoons)
Assignment 3: Colonizing Mars Research
Assignment 4: Building Materials List and Prototype Blueprint
(drawing of what you will build as your model)
Assignment 5: 3D Model of Colony on Mars
Assignment 6: Labels for each component of the model
Assignment 7: Final Assignment (to be announced)
