Description:
Students interpret images to figure out how long the seasons are on Mars, to compare temperatures and wind speeds on Earth and Mars, to look at Martian storms, to discover the effect of Martian dust storms on temperatures, and to make educated theories about the nature of Martian life forms - if there were any. Weather links used in the investigations are provided.
