test their ideas about the natural world

get evidence about processes that are difficult to observe.

show facts that will never change in world.

draw a copy of something we can see around us.

Information or proof about something in the natural world

An answer to a question about the natural world

Which one of these was NOT a claim for the Geology on Mars unit?

An earthquake created the channel on Mars

Flowing water created the channel on Mars

Flowing lava created the channel on Mars

Mars is a place to look for potential life because

Temperature is reasonably close to Earth due to the sun as an energy source

What does biosphere mean?

all the living things on a planet.

a long, narrow channel that forms where water, lava, or other liquid flows.

to notice how two or more things are alike ot different.

Define the word MODEL

An object, diagram, or computer program that helps us understand something by making it simpler or easier to see.

any planet with a solid surface, such as Earth or Mars.

Which of these is evidence we collected to determine which geologic process created the channel on Mars?

compared rocks on Earth with images of rock formations on Mars

compared volcanoes on Earth to volcanoes on Mars

compared flowing water on Earth to flowing water on Mars.

Compared weather on Earth to weather on Mars,

Which of these is evidence we collected to determine which geologic process created the channel on Mars?

compared triangle shaped landforms on Earth with triangle shaped landforms on Mars.

compared oceans on Earth to oceans on Mars

compared wind on Earth to wind on Mars

compared plants on Earth to plants on Mars.

Which of these is an acceptable claim?

The geologic process that created the channel on Mars was flowing water.

The geologic process that created the channel on Mars was flowing lava.

Which of these is reasoning to support which geologic process created the channel on Mars?

The rock on Earth that were created by flowing water matched the rock formation on Mars. Therefore, the channel on Mars was created by flowing water.

The rocks were kind of the same on Earth as the ones on Mars.

The channel on Mars was created by flowing water, lava or wind.

There was a triangle shape at the bottom of the channel that looked like triangle shapes on Earth that were made by flowing lava and flowing water.

If liquid water did form the channel on Mars what does that mean about the past habitability of Mars?

There is no way anything once lived there

It could NOT have been habitable

If I wanted to test that small sand grains lead to narrow and deeper rivers what should I do?

I would create a model with both small and large sand grains to compare the type of river it creates

I would create a model with large sand grains only

I would create a model with small sand grains only

If I want to test the idea that steep hills lead to narrow deep rivers what should I do?

Create a model with different heights to see the different rivers it creates

Create a model with only a small height/hill

Create a model with only a very tall height/hill
