In this lesson, we will search for water in the universe. Water is important because without it, life as we know it would not be possible. We have plenty of liquid water on Earth, but the question is whether this is also the case elsewhere in our solar system.
Observing, Predict, Logical Reasoning
Understand that water is necessary for life as we know it on Earth.
Find out where water is found in our solar system.
Understand that water is key in the search for extraterrestrial life.
