Exploring Mars - key stage 3
In this resource, students use real data to explore the conditions on Mars, and use their knowledge of the red planet to answer the question “Should humans or robots explore Mars in the future?”
The resource contains two activities:
- Conditions on Mars - students use real data and their mathematical skills to explore the conditions on Mars
- Humans or robots? - the students use given prompts to discuss which would be better to Explore Mars - humans or robots? To inform the debate it would help pupils to have completed the Mission to Mars activity which looks in detail at the challenges humans would face if they visited Mars.
