The fascinating “Journey to the Red Planet,” Grade 5 students at E-Steam Project delved into a compelling project centred around the key inquiry question: “How can humans safely explore Mars?” This exploration not only fueled their curiosity about outer space but also engaged them in a profound understanding of the challenges associated with human habitation on Mars.
To address the complexities of space living, students undertook a thorough investigation, delving into challenges humans might encounter in the Martian environment. Guided by insightful videos, they navigated through topics such as Martian time zones, temperature variations, and the rich history of the enigmatic red planet.
In their quest for knowledge, they explored the role of technological marvels like satellites and space drones, understanding how these innovations facilitate effective communication amidst the vastness of space.
Students actively participated in the design process, collaborating with their peers to create prototype models tailored for the unique challenges of the red planet. The project not only enriched their understanding of outer space but also honed their teamwork and design skills, fostering a sense of excitement and accomplishment in their “Journey to the Red Planet.”
