Mars Attacks!

Your classroom, that is. At NASA’s Phoenix Web site, you can not only get a slew of information about the red planet, but the latest photos from the Phoenix Mars Lander. The probe recently landed and has started to beam back a slew of images from the northern polar region. Within a few weeks, it should start relaying the results of its search for water on the Martian landscape, a custom-made lesson plan on life as we know it. With this site, kids can check out the clock that started when the space ship landed, watch videos of the mission or take an in-depth look at the ship.
