CL M1 Creating Life on Another Planet Sept23


Description
Introduction
A masterclass in employing scientific skills to create life on another planet.
A course designed to engage students with the world around us and examine the reasons
why planet Earth is perfect to harbour life and why life is so well adapted to Earth. With these
understandings, it is then possible to analyse bigger questions such as whether it will ever be
possible for humans to live elsewhere in the Solar system and beyond!
