Mission to Jupiter

This was an activity used in the BEAMS program at Jefferson Lab. Students used the following pages to help answer a question: Do the satellites of Jupiter contain the needed materials to sustain a colony?

This was our first attempt at something new - using the internet to gather information. The pages date from early 1994 and the content has not been modified since. In particular, this activity predates the crash of comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 and the Galileo mission.

The photos included in this activity were obtained from NASA's Welcome to the Planets.

This activity has been retired from the BEAMS program. A listing of the current activities can be found in the Teacher Resources section of this site.

Let's go to Jupiter!
