Imagine walking on Mars from the comfort of your own home! With Access Mars, you can explore the surface of the Red Planet just like NASA scientists. This interactive experience lets you virtually roam around in 3D, seeing authentic images captured by the Curiosity rover. Dive into the Martian landscape, discover ancient craters, and get an up-close look at the planet's fascinating features.
In the Classroom
Have students compare the features of Mars to similar landscapes on Earth (e.g., deserts, volcanoes, canyons). Students can create a side-by-side comparison chart, highlighting key similarities and differences, and present their findings to the class. This could lead to discussions about what makes a planet habitable. Based on the landscape and conditions they observe in Access Mars, have students design an experiment they want to conduct on Mars. They should consider the planet's gravity, temperature, and atmosphere. Students can create a proposal outlining their hypothesis, the materials needed, and the steps they'd take to carry out their experiment. Using Goosechase edu, reviewed here create a scavenger hunt where students must navigate Access Mars to find specific features like craters, rock formations, or the path taken by the Curiosity rover. Provide clues or a checklist, and encourage students to document their findings with screenshots and descriptions. After exploring the Martian surface, have students work in groups to design a human habitat for astronauts. They can use information about the landscape and climate conditions to brainstorm shelter designs, life-support systems, and how they would handle the harsh environment. Students can present their designs as posters or models using Desygner, reviewed here.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

Follow this with a class discussion to reinforce understanding.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

In the Classroom
Use online simulations to perform biology experiments on cell division, ecosystems, or genetics, allowing students to manipulate variables and observe outcomes. Assign students different biology topics (e.g., DNA structure, evolution) from Crash Course videos. They become "experts" and teach their peers. Students design and present a biome, incorporating species, climate, and adaptations knowledge. Set up stations with video clips, interactive quizzes, and hands-on activities for students to rotate through, deepening their understanding of complex topics.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

Gigafact's fact briefs offer rich opportunities for classroom engagement and digital citizenship development. Students can analyze the structured format of the fact briefs, including the question-and-answer breakdown and linked social media posts, to understand how information is presented and verified. Topics include Democracy and Elections, Economy, Justice, Education, Immigration, and more. These briefs can serve as case studies in media literacy lessons, prompting discussions on critical thinking, source evaluation, and responsible sharing online. Classroom debates and collaborative discussions based on fact briefs encourage students to engage in respectful discourse while honing their fact-checking skills. By integrating Gigafact's resources, educators can empower students to become informed digital citizens who critically evaluate information, engage in civil online conversations, and promote responsible sharing practices.

In the Classroom
Introduce your class to Gigafact on your interactive whiteboard or with a projector by showing them the listings under one of the "hot" topics from the top menu bar. At the time of this review, Democracy and Elections and Immigration are "hot" topics. Have small groups use RumorGuard, reviewed here to double-check the facts presented by Gigafacts.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member
