Mars Science

Hi guys today we are doing science. The science we are doing is about Mars. We had to read a book called Becoming a Martian. We have some questions to answer after we fully read the book.

A mission to mars (Or from mars) happen is that it would take 8 months to get their. Any possible mission to mars can only leave earth - or return from mars -. when the two planets are at their closest point in their orbits, it means that the first astronauts to mars will be gone for a long time. Two geological features of mars is that, Mars is known as the Red Planet because of its colour, Other features of Mars include Polar Ice Caps, Olympus Mons (the largest volcano in the solar system).A possible solution about oxygen, It takes a lot of energy though. You can use a Solar Panel that can make electricity from the sun, it would be hard though because mars has dust storms, which can last many months.It doesn't rain on mars so you cant really get water. A way you can get water on mars that you can drill deeper in the ground.People can get food on mars by growing plants on mars, They could also bring food but that will take to much space on ship.

  1. Hi Alexia

    Thanks for working really hard today and completing both of your Mars intro tasks. You have written an informative paragraph with the questions from the reading and I like the effort you put into your FB Mars profile, though the photo is a bit difficult to read.

    What a great start to Term 3! Keep challenging yourself and working hard.

    Wananei!
