What's Going On: Week of 2/22 - 2/24

We'll be learning about Drake's Equation this week. Since most students will be reading either The Martian Chronicles or Ender's Game, it's a good opportunity to actually see what scientists have to say about alien civilizations. We'll discuss what factors would have to exist on a planet for life to occur. And then students will use Drake's Equation to actually calculate how many civilizations could exist in the universe.
