Evaluate

Space explorers have discovered a new planet!

One possible evaluation activity is to engage students with the capstone "project" Explore Planet Zeus.

Challenge:

The Space Exploration Agency wishes to identify the soil types present at several possible landing locations on the newly discovered planet, Zeus.

Your mission as an Earth Scientist is to assess the soil properties present at the potential landing sites.

Use the map (provided on the website and pictured to the right) along with the descriptive information to predict the soil order present at several different locations on Explore Planet Zeus. Make your predictions based on your knowledge of soil orders and the information presented on the map and in the table below the image.
