In case you missed it, NASA announced the discovery of the largest batch of Earth-size, Habitable Zone planets. These planets rotate around a smaller star than our sun, but three of these planets, just like Earth, are in the "Goldilocks Zone". This habitabal zone means the conditions are 'just right' and there is liquid water. These planets can potentially support life as we know it. Trappist-1 is 40 LIGHT YEARS away, but the science world is full of excitement right now.
- How will you use this information in your classroom?
- How will you tie this discovery to Science instruction to prepare students for their High School Equivalency Completion?
I'd love to hear your thoughts and updates about Trappist-1!
