Description
This Web Seminar was developed in collaboration with NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) and Arizona State University’s (ASU) Mars Education Program. The event took place on December 6, 2007, from 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., Eastern Time. The presenter was Dr. Jim Rice, a member of the science team on the Mars Exploration Rovers program. Dr. Rice talked about Astrobiology, extreme environments, some of the extreme places we have found life thriving on Earth, and the applications of these to Mars exploration.

[HIDE CORRELATIONS]
- Physical Science
- Motion and Forces
- Objects change their motion only when a net force is applied. Laws of motion are used to calculate precisely the effects of forces on the motion of objects. (9-12)
- The magnitude of the change in motion can be calculated using the relationship F = ma, which is independent of the nature of the force. (9-12)
- Earth Science
- Changes in earth and sky
- Some changes to the surface of the Earth are due to slow processes, such as erosion and weathering
- Some changes to the surface of the Earth are due to rapid processes, such as landslides, volcanic eruptions, and earthquakes
- Structure of the earth system
- The solid earth is layered with a lithosphere; hot, convecting mantle; and dense, metallic core.
- Earth in the solar system
- The earth is the third planet from the sun in a system that includes the moon, the sun, eight other planets and their moons, and smaller objects, such as asteroids and comets.
- The sun, an average star, is the central and largest body in the solar system.
- Gravity is the force that keeps planets in orbit around the sun and governs the rest of the motion in the solar system.
- Science and Technology
- Understanding about science and technology
- Many different people in different cultures have made and continue to make contributions to science and technology.
- Science and technology are reciprocal.
- Science helps drive technology, as it addresses questions that demand more sophisticated instruments and provides principles for better instrumentation and technique.
- Technology is essential to science, because it provides instruments and techniques that enable observations of objects and phenomena that are otherwise unobservable due to factors such as quantity, distance, location, size, and speed.
- Technology provides tools for investigations, inquiry, and analysis.
- Process Standards for Professional Development
- Research-Based
- Address teachers' needs as learners and build on their current knowledge of science content, teaching, and learning. (NSES)
- Design
- Introduce teachers to scientific literature, media, and technological resources that expand their science knowledge and their ability to access further knowledge. (NSES)
- Learning
- Incorporate ongoing reflection on the process and outcomes of understanding science through inquiry. (NSES)
