GEMS project

Students will learn what scientists do through an activity that requires to students to observe, examine, hypothesize, and analyze a green oozy substance. Throughout the activity, the students will become familiar with the scientific terminology used by scientists to describe the properties of an object. The students will compare their findings of real scientists who were involved with the Mars Rover expedition. They will design a spacecraft that could land on the green ooze. Finally, the students will compare their scientific methodology with the methodology of real scientists.
