Early in the morning on August 6, NASA’s latest rover successfully touched down on Mars to begin investigating the planet’s habitability. The rover, Curiosity, will use an array of instruments to figure out if the Martian environment was ever able to support microbial life. As Curiosity searches for signs of life on the red planet, you may wonder how you can bring the search for life into your classroom. The NOVA Education team has developed a collection of flexible resources to help you turn this exciting space mission into a teachable moment for your students.
