Students learn how real-life scientists on the Mars Viking Project explored the properties of an unknown substance (the red soil of the planet), discussed their results at scientific meetings and designed a new spacecraft to land on Mars.
In this workshop, you will spend a fun day role-playing as space scientists! Imagine…a space probe has just returned from a planet in another star system and it is covered with large, green oceans, and a sample of the ocean material was collected (Oobleck)! Your group of space scientists gather to investigate the properties of the ocean sample from outer space, experiment and test it, analyze findings, share them at a space convention and design a spacecraft that can land successfully on an ocean of Oobleck and take off again without getting stuck!
