Investigation 4: Is life on Mars possible and could humans establish settlements there?

Humans will, within the next few decades, travel to Mars to explore the "red planet." Those first explorers will become the 21st Century's Christopher Columbus. Their primary objective will be to explore for evidence of life. This investigation allows students to become explorers. Students use images of Mars (those used in Investigation 3) to locate regions in which to search for evidence of life and to build future settlements.
