  2. Mars Uncovered Goal: Guide students through an inquiry-based and critical thinking approach of studying the surface of Mars in a similar way scientists do. Objectives: • Learn and practice relative age dating techniques • Create a simple geologic feature map • Analyze and interpret the geologic history of a region on Mars Take out the Student Guide from the Mars Uncovered section of your notebook.

  3. Mars Uncovered Groups: • 3 groups consisting of ~2 people at each table (Each table and 3 groups should all be working with the same image mosaic) Procedure: • Complete Student Worksheets (Activity pages) (1 at a time) • Discuss as a table • Revise (change) answers as necessary

  4. Mars Uncovered: Initial Observations and Strategies 1. Observe image mosaic 2. Answer questions on Student Worksheet 1 3. Discuss

  5. Mars Uncovered: Age Dating Techniques

  6. Age Dating Techniques Visible ejecta blanket 4 1 3 2 Circular rim 1. Practice techniques using Worksheets 2 and 3 2. Discuss in groups 3. Using image handouts: a. Classify craters: label image to illustrate classification reasons b. Relatively age date features (#1 is the youngest) c. Post your images

  7. Mars Uncovered: Create Feature Map / Interpret Geologic History • Complete Students Worksheets 4 and 5 • Write geologic history (on 5”x 7” colored post-it paper) and post along with your geologic map

  8. Mars Uncovered: Evaluate Initial Strategies / Future Investigations • Complete Student Worksheet 6 • Post at least 1 question for each group at your table from the Future Investigations section

  9. Mars Uncovered: Closure • Have students read and compare the geologic history of their regions (show map and / or image mosaic). • Discuss interpretations • Discuss possible future investigations

  10. Teacher Guide, Student Guide and Image Mosaics available at:http://marsed.asu.edu/upload/MarsUncoveredIf you have questions, contact Paige at: paigev@asu.edu
