Habitable Exoplanets Science Investigation Kit
In this investigation, students determine whether any of the exoplanets discovered by scientists during the Kepler mission have a good chance of supporting life.
The Habitable Exoplanets kit includes all the materials students will need to design and carry out the investigation in the Earth and Space Science book (NGSS Edition).
This kit contains enough materials for 8 groups of students to design and carry out this investigation.
