Earlier this 12 months SciShow Youngsters revealed a sequence of 4 movies all about Mars. To wrap-up that sequence SciShow Youngsters lately revealed a compilation of all of these movies in a single video titled Journey to Mars. I’ve embedded that video beneath.
The compilation video above would not embrace an earlier SciShow Youngsters video about Mars. That video is titled What Would We Eat on Mars? The video explains why crops do not develop on Mars and what it will take to attempt to develop crops and help life on Mars. The video ends with a sequence of questions for youths to reply with their ideas about how we’d develop crops on Mars and what to develop and eat on Mars. I believe it is a enjoyable video and a enjoyable set of questions to make use of to get children fascinated by science.
Extra About Mars Rovers
You can provide your college students some “hands-on” expertise with a Mars rover by utilizing the free Spacecraft AR iPad app supplied by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. The app permits college students to study varied NASA spacecraft together with the Curiosity rover, Voyager, Mars Exploration Rover, and a handful of different spacecraft. Spacecraft AR contains details about every spacecraft’s growth and use. With Spacecraft AR put in and open on their iPads or telephones, college students can choose a spacecraft or mission then level their iPads or telephones at a flat flooring or wall see the spacecraft seem. As soon as the spacecraft seems on display college students can transfer to see different angles of the spacecraft and transfer the spacecraft. College students may also pinch and zoom to alter the scale of spacecraft they’re taking a look at.
After watching the video about how a Mars rover is designed, have your college students head to the Mars Rovers web page on NASA’s Area Place web site. On that web page they will click on on playing cards about every of 5 Mars rovers to study what every one was known as, what it did, and what was discovered from the work the rover did on Mars.
