The fifth grade students at our school have been asked by NASA to prepare an Earth Lab inwhich the environments and conditions of the planet Earth can be studied and evaluated. We have been told that friendly aliens may be looking for a safe environment in which to begin a new colony. Our students have accepted the mission of researching the planet Earth to help the aliens find a suitable living environment. Our research will cover Landforms, Oceans, Weather and Space. We will produce a museum-like "Port of Enrty" in which the aliens will evaluate our study and select their new home on Earth. Additional websites will be added as our research developes.
