This imagination-based astrobiology unit immerses students in three hands-on, interactive experiences to explore the conditions for life in space. 

Through role-playing and creative storytelling, students will investigate the planets in Lesson 1, design their own planet in Lesson 2, and create alien life forms that might live on that planet in Lesson 3. 

The K-2 modules do not need to be completed sequentially; you can pick and choose which modules work for your classroom.
