Mars Mission
In the Science astronomy unit students are asked to consider the ethical implications of space travel. As a class they discussed the issues, and used jigsaw and think-pair- share to explore a variety of issues. They narrowed the list of issues down to technological issues, health issues (physical and mental) and resource issues. They then looked on-line at the Mars One project (a one way trip to mars in 2023 that may or may not be a hoax).
