Every 26 months
Question 2: What are two geological features of Mars ?
Mars is very dry and Mars is also red
Question 3: What is one possible solution from the story about oxygen on Mars ?
On Mars, the atmosphere is 95 % carbon dioxide. Breathing this would mean certain death because the carbon dioxide would replace the oxygen in your red blood sells. You would last around 2 minutes.
Question 4: If it doesn't rain on Mars, Where does the water come from ?
Water is found as ice in the polar ice caps, but these ice caps are covered in a thick layer of frozen carbon dioxide.
Question 5: How will people get food on Mars ? What is a possible solution ?
If settlers brought their own food, it would need to last for 26 months until the next supply rocket arrives. Martian crops could also be grown in special nutrient-rich water.

ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your work from Science today. You worked well in order to complete the task on time and asked questions when you were unsure. I challenge you to write your answers in full and complete sentences. As you answered more questions, the answers were longer and more detailed, but I think you could have pushed yourself more in questions 1-2.
