Should scientists look for life on other planets, and if so, where should they look? Engage in argument from evidence from texts about the relative costs and benefits of space exploration, identifying and evaluating trade-offs. Design a solution to the problem of how to focus limited resources available for the search for life at different scales by applying ideas about the properties and structure of matter and chemical bonding. NOTE: We will start using your science notebooks next week. Please make sure you still have one. I have lightly used ones if needed. How do those spectral lines work to determine elements on other stars and planets? A quick look “Every scientist must make decisions about the right and wrong things to do and base their decisions on criteria and trade-offs. Sometimes that means there is no right answer. Today we are going to look at our final question ‘Should we continue searching for life in outer space?’” Question 1 - Rank your priorities for what is important to you when we think about searching for life out there. Find your group based on what you thought was most important. Read the 8 articles and have a discussion about the evidence you found supporting your priorities.
