Mars Diary

Activity 5.3

If humans are to spend extended periods of time on Mars, whether they are conducting research projects or living there on a more permanent basis, it will be essential to design an energy source. Students will learn about renewable and sustainable energy on Earth in order to inspire their own invention for an energy source on Mars.
