Meetings 2 and 3: Mars Uncovered

MARS UNCOVERED:  Revealing the Geologic History Through Mapping 

 

The Mars Uncovered activity guides students through an inquiry-based and critical thinking approach to studying the surface of Mars as planetary scientists do.  Students will learn to create a geologic map of Mars and use relative age dating techniques to analyze the information and interpret the geologic history of that region.
