Eyes on Mars Classroom Editon

Journey to the mysterious Red Planet with SPACE.com correspondent Dave Brody to learn about its history.

The history of Mars science is a story full of false starts and good ideas gone wrong. Through it all, scientists have persevered in the effort to separate fact from fiction, and to understand Mars as a place that is similar to, but different from, Earth.

Winner of the 2005 Telly Multimedia Video Award and recommended by the Parents' Choice Foundation, this DVD comes complete with a teaching guide full of discussion questions, cross-curricular activities and correlations to national science standards. It is a wonderful educational resource that will inspire and excite your students about space science.
