Presentation transcript:

Mars

 Focus Finding evidence of water on another planet. Using GIS to evaluate likelihood and determine best location.  Lesson Objectives Understand that terrestrial planet surfaces have similar histories. Recognize that satellite data has a lot of detail and purposes. Identify different tools and capabilities of satellite datasets. Use remote sensing to address a scientific question  Lesson Outcomes Describe how different satellite datasets work. Identify the criteria in picking surfaces that show water flow evidence. Apply these criteria to choose best location. Justify the decisions that have been made. Describe the geological history and processes involved in formation of the landscape Reflect on the value of remote sensing to scientists unable to reach another planet themselves.
