Group Members:Fiodor

Question guiding the project:Could Mars sustain human or animal life.

Overview of the three required learning activities:

1)The first thing that I will do is to go to Fern bank.

 

(Fern Bank Science Center)

 

(Fernbank Planetarium)

2) The second thing that I will do is to go to a planetarium

3) The last thing that I will do is to interview a person who knows about my to pick.

Findings (list):

1.Mars has frozen water below it's surface.

2.Mars has frozen polar ice caps.

3.At one time Mars might have had small microbes living on it's surface.

4.Mars has a similar atmosphere to Earths.

5.Mar's atmosphere contains carbon dioxide, nitrogen, argon, oxygen, Krypton, Neon, carbon monoxide, xenon, and water vapor in it's atmosphere.

6.The temperatures on Mars range from -87.c to 17.c

7. Mars has almost half of the components of our atmosphere.

Conclusion: 1)Mars has enough frozen water and a strong enough atmosphere to support life for a short time.

Questions raised for further study:

1.Was there ever life on Mars?

2.Did it impact life on Earth?
