Directions:
You are a scientist in charge of finding life on another planet. In order to be successful you have to know what you are looking for. Your job is to create a scientific report that shows your understanding of what defines life on our planet so you can find life on another planet.
The scientific report you will use will be shared with other astronauts--some are not trained in biological sciences and so you need to be very clear in how you describe life, it's properties and how to identify it on another planet. Life may not look like it does on Earth, how will you know the planet has life? How will you be able to tell the difference between a non-living and living object you come across?
What needs to be in my Final Report?
Using the resources in this assignment, create a report of your findings to explain what life is, how do we know the difference between something that is alive or not alive, and what do we look for when trying to find life on a distant world.
Format of your final report:
Turn In Your Completed Journal Notes Uploaded to Showbie
Option 1: Take photos and insert into a word document (must be in order). Then upload word doc to Showbie.
Option 2: Using the library copy machine; scan and email this document to yourself. Then upload to Showbie.
Option 3: Download and use a PDFapp that allows you to take multiple photos and convert into 1 larger PDF file. Upload to Showbie.
Turn in Your Completed 5 Paragraph Report detailing your findings (as follows) to Showbie
Paragraph I: Introduction into your objective and methods of research/investigation
Paragraph II: Description of the properties (emergent) of life that you will be using and/or defining in your Frayer Models.
Paragraph III: Analysis of why life is hard to define and examples of this issue.
Paragraph IV: Explanation of how the properties of life can leave clues on the planet itself.
Paragraph V: Short summary of how you have organized your findings.
Your report must be saved as a PDF. To achieve this, use the Save As and select PDF.
Turn in Your Completed Frayer Models to Showbie
There is a template for the Frayer Model on our website; In-Class Investigations, it is a fillable PDF.
Using the structure of the Frayer Model, create a model for each of the properties that define life.
Use the SAVE-AS feature to reuse the same template for each of your properties of life.
