Since the students have been learning about the other planets in the solar system, I thought it would be fun for them to use that knowledge to create a drawing imagining what it would be like to live on a different planet! While the other planets are not currently habitable, both art and science benefit from imagining what could be possible. Before they started drawing, we spent some time discussing what the other planets are like. The students added information and asked questions as we talked, which was great! We also watched a short video describing how NASA develops space food, to show the level of thinking and creativity that goes into space exploration.
After that, the students got started on their drawings! I had to leave before they were able to completely finish their drawings, but I enjoyed talking to them about what they were working on.
