On February 18, the NASA rover, Perseverance, lands on Mars. This is such an exciting mission and one that our students can follow along with all of the amazing resources NASA and others have created and put together for all of us as educators, librarians and families.
NASA has put together an awesome site called NASA Mars 2020 Perseverance Rover that can be found
here. As I looked through this site, and other resources online, I pulled together resources, activities, interactive experiences, live cams and more.
On the NASA site, you will also find the
Mission to Mars Students Challenge page, which includes lots of...
...educational resources for all age.
I also went to one of our favorite places to find read alouds,
Story Time from Space, where I found three perfect books including
Curiosity, The Story of a Mars Rover, Hey-Ho, To Mars We'll Go, and...
...
Max Goes To Mars. These resources, along with others, make up the new
Let's Follow the Rover's Mission To Mars Choice Board.
Here is what is looks like. I put a little square in the corner, added some text and linked it to slide 2 which includes...
...the eBooks, PebbleGo and PebbleGo Next articles. And remember, it's super easy to link directly to PebbleGo articles now with this
new feature.
Once you fill out the information, it gives you a ticket for your future trip to Mars.
You can download, email or embed these tickets. Wouldn't it be fun to print these for all of your students as you get ready to....
...watch the February 18 landing broadcast
here.
What an exciting week, friends. Have fun following it with your students and school community too.
