Dear discuss-lfm members, If you have not already shared the Challenge Question for this week, please use the following updated version with your students. We feel the students will be find this wording more challenging. I will accept answers via my jwee@mail.arc.nasa.gov account through next Wednesday, April 16th, giving you more time to promote and utilize this week's Challenge Question in your classroom. Jan Wee, moderator CHALLENGE QUESTION #3 *NOTE the new DUE DATE (revised) APRIL 16th! QUESTION: Dis-count (ignore, forget about...) one feature that makes Earth unique among the planets (but maybe not the moons) of our Solar System, and Earth and Mars are almost identical in a certain aspect. What do you have to take away from Earth? In what way are Earth and Mars then alike? BONUS QUESTION: And as a BONUS... Whatever do we mean when we say this feature may make Earth unique compared to the planets... but maybe not "the moons" of our solar system?
