Could life survive in alien environments? - Defining environments suitable for life
In this activity, produced by the European Space Agency, students will consider whether life found in extreme environments on Earth could survive elsewhere in the Solar System. Students will examine the characteristics of different places in the Solar System and then use fact cards of some example extremophiles to hypothesize which they think might be able to survive in the different extra-terrestrial environments. This classroom-based activity is designed to take one hour.
