So really, it pretty much works the same way as a Tamagotchi, only it’s on your phone. It’s worth downloading for that reason alone. Anyway.

The habitable zone was first considered to exist only as far out in our solar system as Mars, but this may extend further now that we have discovered life on Earth can thrive in environments from extreme cold to extreme heat. (Refer to the Habitable Zone section in this site for more detailed information.) Have students research more about Europa using the Internet sites or magazine articles listed below. This will provide background information to aid in the design of a probe to go to Europa. Now students should build a model of their Europa probe using found or recyclable materials. site has brief background information about Europa. Our colourful world. The cold planet.
