Homework - Week 4 - Mars

This week you are focusing on Mars - the Red planet.


Check these amazing pieces of homework from last week.






You have to find 10 bits of information about Mars. Mr Dufty has seven questions for you to find the answers to. You only have to think of three more.

  1. What gives Mars its red colouring?
  2. What is the length of one year and one day on Mars? 
  3. What is the Olympus Mons and Valles Marineris?
  4. Compare the atmosphere and gravity between Mars and Earth?
  5. How did Mars get its name?
  6. Does Mars have any Moons?
  7. What is the main gas on Mars and is it breathable for humans?
These links will give you the answers.





A great search engine for your homework.

When looking for information on each project don't type in the questions into google - you will not find what you are looking for. A search engine (Google) is design to find all the websites which have the words or words you ask it to find. If you type in the word 'Mars' you will get 742,000,000 possible websites! The the first website is not always the best!

Use a safe kids search and type in the word 'Mars'. It will find the best sites to give you information on the planet Mars for students.

This link you have a list of links that will take you to the sites were I got the questions.


Mr Dufty's Rules for a Mini-Project.


• Plan it first!!! Your homework book is for your best publishing.
• Make your presentation fun BUT full of information! Show pride and complete your project with your best presentation. Mr Dufty can tell when you have rushed or haven't finished!! A great piece of presentation has information and pictures.
• Don't copy what you find - write in your own words! This is stealing!!
• Use all the space you have so make it fun and interesting.

Get Mum or Dad to check that you have answered all the questions. Ask them for some help, as they will know lots of stuff!

Remember to have fun with your presentation but you must convince me that you have investigated your topic fully. You will be marked on your presentation and originality of your written work. If you quote a book or website you must acknowledge it.


Homework is due on Friday.
