Canadian National Marsville

Canadian National Marsville

Welcome! Grade 6-8 students from across Canada are invited to simulate habitation of the "Red Planet"!

Students prepare for their adventure by studying space exploration and the planet Mars. In teams, they design and build life support systems and communicate with other sites. On Link-up Day, they come together to build a Mars habitat and showcase their survival systems.

A fun way to explore the Earth and Space Science curriculum - with lots of cross-curricular ideas and activities!
