Oct. 19-23: Life on Earth and other planetary objects

This week students are presenting their projects that explain why the atoms that make up their bodies come from an ancient star. Next we will be discussing why Earth is a good place for life to form, and we will talk about the possibilities for life on other planets and moons in our solar system. They will be comparing the requirements for life here and elsewhere and will even design their own planet with a computer program that could maintain life.
