Abstract
In this activity, students, working in small groups, will examine images of surface features on Mars and attempt to identify them, speculate as to their origins, and determine their size. They will share their ideas in a class discussion and attempt to reach a consensus for the interpretation of each image. Most of the images are from the Viking missions; they are accompanied by sample questions for the class. Educational levels: High school, Middle school
