This is a song that focuses on the topics of functions, linear relations, & graphs. It is a parody of the song "The Lazy Song" by Bruno Mars. It was made by high school students as a project, so the video and sound quality can sometimes be poor, but it is still interesting and informative. (4:40)

This video shows the many steps in the launching and landing of the first Mars Rover. I don't think students fully realize the many phases needed for this successful endeavor and this video could be a great starting point on a discussion of the importance of math, science, and future space explorations.

A very slickly-produced, realistic-looking digital animation showing how the rover got to Mars, and what it did there. Soundtrack is just music, but the video really "speaks for itself"; it's like seeing the actual rover go to Mars and get to work. (09:18)

Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun in the Solar System. The planet is named after Mars, the Roman god of war. It is also referred to as the "Red Planet" because of its reddish appearance as seen from Earth.
A terrestrial planet, Mars has a thin atmosphere and surface features reminiscent both of the impact craters of the Moon and the volcanoes, valleys, deserts and polar ice caps of Earth. It is the site of Olympus Mons, the highest known mountain in the solar system, and of Valles Marineris, the largest canyon. In addition to its geographical features, Mars' rotational period and seasonal cycles are likewise similar to those of the Earth. This video shows the rotation speed of the red planet Mars relative to Earth, the seasonal cycles on Mars and its surface structure. (03:05)

This cool Mars Rover was built out of nothing but a milk container, cereal box, some masking or foil tape and straws! All you need is your imagination and some simple household supplies. This is a great activity for home and for school. This would be a great culminating classroom project after reading non-fiction texts about space, planets, etc. (3:30)

Ever wonder why Mars is red? Let's make sense of it with science. To get to the fourth planet and find out why we see red, we're going to travel by rocket. This video explains that the rust color on Mars is really rust which means Mars once had water on it. Some key vocabulary words include atmosphere, surface, rust, maghemite, magnetic, and oxide. A variety of pictures is shown as well as auditory/written content. This is a great resource to help build background knowledge for our students and would work well in conjunction with reading non-fiction texts on planets, Mars, atmosphere, and/or space. (02:03)

A quote from the video: "Just about every two years, the planet Mars makes its closest approach to Earth... around 36 million miles. That's when we pack our robotic emissaries off to the Red Planet, timing their launches to spend the least effort to get there. Some fly around it... snapping pictures... Others land ... to sample its surface... a few to crawl around its canyons and craters. These probes may pave the way for human explorers... and, perhaps permanent settlers... who'll dig deeper still... in search of answers to our most pressing question:
Did Mars develop far enough -- and stay that way long enough -- for life to arise?" (20:13)

To fly around on the surface of Mars, a traditional aircraft would need to travel at speeds of over 250 MPH just to stay aloft in the very thin atmosphere. Taking off and landing on the rocky terrain for sample inspection and gathering would be nearly impossible. This video explains some of the problems that need to be overcome when dealing with travel in space. A good problem solving video and a career one.
Running time 2:32 minutes.

Where should NASA go to look for intelligent life on Mars? To get to the truth, journalists say follow the money. Astronomers say follow the water. Dr. Michio Kaku says "if you were a Martian on Mars three billion years ago when Mars was probably a lush environment with liquid water oceans—and you realized that the water was escaping to the icecaps, escaping into outer space or going into the permafrost," then you would "probably go either into outer space to leave Mars or drill into the permafrost or go into the polar icecaps. So I think that's what NASA is going to do next. (02:46)

This video offers an exploration of planet Mars, from early time up to Vicking Landing. Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun in the Solar System. The planet is named after Mars, the Roman god of war. It is also referred to as the "Red Planet" because of its reddish appearance, due to iron oxide prevalent on its surface. Mars is a terrestrial planet with a thin atmosphere, having surface features reminiscent both of the impact craters of the Moon and the volcanoes, valleys, deserts and polar ice caps of Earth.
