If you want to find out more about Mars, follow this link to the NASA ‘Spaceplace’ (which has brief information on different planets) aimed at children. There are some images here to show you what Mars looks like. You can also click on links to other planets and get some great images of Earth from space. These images might be especially useful for anyone choosing the ‘view from a rocket’ homework option.
On another page there is also a lot of information about space technology and inventions to support space travel and communication which is very interesting. This part of the site also has games and activities to do with space.
If you want more challenge, there is a huge amount of information and some great images on the main NASA site. You can even zoom in on a kind of ‘Google maps’ for Mars! (Click on any of the images to follow the links.)
