In this activity, students will formulate an original question based on recent Mars robotic investigations and design an original, collaborative inquiry investigation. They will then present their inquiry question and investigation to the class and revise the investigation based on feedback from the class. The activity is designed to accompany the Kids' Science News Network (KSNN) 21st Century Explorer 30-second news break entitled 'Why Do We Want to Study and Travel to Mars?' The activity includes a teacher's guide and instructions for students, and a Spanish translation is available. Educational levels: Intermediate elementary
