REVIEW:
Lead your students through the process of identifying landforms on Mars, intrigue them with the study of geology with "edible rocks," or have them simulate the process of digital imaging using crayons and paper. Exploring the Planets in the Classroom provides the activity pages for these and many other topics, such as Planetary Properties, Volcanology, Impact Craters, Gravity Forces, and Rockets and much more. The site includes printable, ready-to-use activity pages and teacher and student background pages. The site also provides an annotated list of additional resources.
