The Temperature on Mars
Students will begin by comparing the range of temperatures on the Earth, Mars and the Moon, using the student worksheet ‘Temperature: from one extreme to another!’ They will have to plot the temperature over a ten-day period from 4 September to 13 September, as measured by three different craft that landed on the surface of Mars: • Viking 1 – 1976 • Viking 2 – 1976 • Pathfinder – 1997 They will use these plots to answer questions about the temperatures on Mars and how this relates to our Earth.
