  1. Streamlined Islands and Craters SuperNovaz Cyrus, Lumi, Michelle, Naomi, Rakeeb, Sarah Pd. 5 "Google Images." Google. Web. 22 Nov. 2011. <http://www.google.com/imgres?q=supernova>.

  2. Research Question • Is there a pattern in streamlined islands and the flow of water on Mars (are double streamlined islands possible?) • Why is your science question important? - This question is important because if we know where the water is flowing then we will know where to look for life on Mars. • Why is your science question interesting? - This question is interesting because it’s an old question that was never answered and might never be answered.

  3. Background Information • "Streamlined Islands Could Mean Ancient Oceans on Mars." Artrick • Playground. 21 June 2011. Web. 22 Nov. 2011. <http://artrick-playground.com/article/Streamlined-Islands-Could-Mean-Ancient-Oceans-on-Mars/1966/173049>.

  4. Background information "Streamlined Island." Mars Odyssey Mission THEMIS. Web. Dec. 1,2011. http://themis.asu.edu/zoom-20100811a. "Mars Odyssey THEMIS Image: Streamlined Islands in Ares Valles | Mars Today - Your Daily Source of Mars News." The Whole Mars Catalog at Mars Today .com. Web. 02 Dec. 2011. http://www.marstoday.com/news/viewsr.html?pid=5721. There is substantial geologic evidence that large amount of water once flowed across the surface of Mars distant years ago. Streamlined islands have a blunt end that is usually has an obstacle, often an impact crater. The crater is resistant to erosion and the association of crater creates a geologic barrier around where the water used to flow.

  5. How Streamlined Islands are formed • Streamlined islands can be formed two ways. • The meteor hits the ground and forms a crater. • A channel is formed near the crater and the water from the channel flows around the the crater. • This causes a teardrop-shaped island to form behind the crater. • Another way that would cause teardrop shape would be tremendous force of moving water, possibly from a catastrophic flood, carved these teardrop-shaped islands "Marte Vallis." Mars Odyssey Mission THEMIS. Web. 01 Dec. 2011. http://themis.asu.edu/zoom-20070219a.

  6. How Streamlined Islands are formed • The other way is that a streamlined island is formed on Mars is: • A meteor hits the channel and forms a crater. • The crater gets in the way of the water flowing. • This creates a teardrop-shaped island behind the crater.

  7. Hypothesis If there are many samples of streamlined island, then by looking at streamlined there will be no pattern in the water flow direction because rivers on Mars can be compared to those on Earth.

  11. Methods Continued… • Website list: http://themis.asu.edu Data collection steps on site: • Go to the http://themis.asu.edu website; • Click on the “Image Galleries” topic • Click on “Themis Images by Topic”thumbnails • Click on “Channels” • Look for valley networks with streamlined islands • Observe the direction of the water flow (look out for double streamlined islands.) (include streamlined islands without craters) • Write down the image ID • Write down the longitude and latitude • Look for any other important facts that can be added into Misc. data • If can’t find any streamlined island in “Channels” go to other topics such as “Crater” "THEMIS Images by Topic." Mars Odyssey Mission THEMIS.

  18. Why is data important to the study? Data chart is important to the study because it shows the direction of where the water is flowing and this helps to find the pattern of water flow direction. Also data helps to organize the thoughts and information that were gathered during the researching process. Bibliography for Pix or other information?

  19. The second graph represents the location of streamlined islands on Mars. They were all between -60 and +60 in latitude and varied in longitude position. Most streamlined islands are located at an altitude of -2 km (green areas of the map). .

  20. The first graph represents the direction flow of Streamlined Islands on Mars. The highest percentage of water flow was tied between Southeast and South followed by North, Southwest, East and Northeast, then West. There seems to no particular trends or patterns in water flow direction.

  21. Potential Errors • List any errors that may have skewed your data collection (i.e. tool accuracy, or human error). Be specific. Bibliography for Pix or other information?

  24. Further Informed Research • List any new questions you have after going through this study. Is there any future work that needs to be done? • What types of technology should be developed to help us further advance our research on Mars? in space? Bibliography for Pix or other information?

  25. Hypothesis • Everyone’s hypothesis must be analyzed. • Restate and support or refute hypotheses • Make sure to include any specific data that supports or refutes your hypothesis • And explain how the data supports or refutes your hypothesis Bibliography for Pix or other information?
