  1. Dust Devils The Pootie Tats in Space Line Aaron, Sophia Bradbury, Karly Gushiken, Brandi Ogawa, Ashlyn Salvador and Tracline Sueyoshi-Botelho Period 5 http://images.spaceref.com/news/2004/2004.10.14.R1800047.gif

  2. Research Question Does the location indicate the color of the dust devils? Why is your science question important? The science question is important because it explains why the dust devils have various colors in certain locations on mars. Another reason why this science question is important is because it also explains how the color of the sand on mars affects the color of the dust devils. This information will help future space explorers because it will let space explorers know how the dust devils relate to the location of where they are and how the wind trades also relate. Why is your science question interesting? This science question is interesting because it informs people what dust devils are and how the colors of the dust devils change depending on the area and the type of wind pressure. Another reason why this science question is interesting is because it explains how the dust devils create a unusual pattern and look similar to seaweed. http://science.nasa.gov/media/medialibrary/2005/07/10/14jul_dustdevils_resources/streaks_med.gif

  4. DUUUUUST DEEEVIILS ! ;D • Dust devils: • Hot air on the surface heats up and becomes warmer than the air above • Unstable air begins to rotate gathering sand, dirt and debris • Stretches vertically • Funnel is formed as the hot air moves upward. • Dust devils move and leave tracks behind http://www.weatherquestions.com/What_are_dust_devils.htm

  5. FLOOOOOW MAAAP ! (: A gust of wind makes the dust & debris fly around Mars Surface Gets heated by the sun Causing them to spin fast The tracks are the pathway that the dust devils went in Dust devil Made by Sophia

  6. Hypothesis All group member’s hypothesis is … If the dust devils are located in the south of the equator, then by looking at the pictures of dust devils they will be dark-colored tracks because the sand is darker in that location. So, if the dust devil tracks are formed on a light-colored sand location, than the dust devil tracks will also be light-colored. Bibliography for Pix or other information?

  10. Website list: http://themis.asu.edu Data collection steps on site: Go to the http://themis.asu.edu website; Type in “dust devil tracks” into the search box Click second image Look for the image #, latitude, and longitude. A picture is useful because it would be a picture of dust devil tracks that are on different locations of Mars. Methods Continued… Bibliography for Pix or other information?

  15. Data analysis graphs 1)Most of our points are located in the eastern hemisphere. 2) There are none. 1)The points are scattered and not only in one part of Mars. 2) There is an uneven pattern. 1)They are scattered but the main cluster is near the equator. 2) They are mainly around the equator.
