Cool Activity - Help NASA
NASA is asking students from all over the world to send them rocks! Mars scientists- here in Tempe, AZ - will analyze your rock and compare it to the rocks found on Mars!  The rocks will be kept in a special collection where scientists from around the world will study them.
Remember to find a rock in its natural setting - not a landscaping rock - a great reason to go on an early morning family hike!  Click here for all the details.
