1-1: Your Mission: Should we be moving to outer space?
A. Your Mission
B. Needs for Survival Quiz
Your mission is to decide whether we should save our planet or move to outer space in the future. Regardless of whether we move elsewhere or choose to save our planet, we need to know what makes our planet livable today.Â
Â
Try this true-false game to see what you currently know about Earth and the conditions that make our planet livable. See if you can guess which are true and which are false. It’s okay to get them wrong, we haven’t learned them yet. This is just for fun!Â
C. Take Action Project: Time Capsule
For your Take Action Project, you are going to use what you learn about the universe and Earth’s conditions to create a time capsule. In the capsule you will write a letter to share with people in the future about what makes life on Earth possible today. Watch this video to learn more about your Take Action Project.
D. Gathering Your Evidence
Being a Fact Finder
In this module you will learn about:
- How energy from the Sun supports life on Earth.
- The role our atmosphere plays in keeping our planet healthy.
- How Earth’s movements impact life on Earth.
- The importance of gravity in outer space and on Earth.
You’ll play games, do experiments, watch videos, meet experts, and read. Every time you learn something new, you should write down important information in the “Fact Finder” section of your Mission Log. Write down anything you think will help you with your Take Action Project!
