Having a classroom set of The Martian will allow us to read the novel as a class and research the space science that goes along with it.
Students will work for an entire month to solve real-world problems as we read the novel. They will put themselves on Mars and problem solve to keep themselves alive and well. They will conduct scientific research and continuously solve problems while working on their critical thinking skills.
After the unit, students will take all the research they have conducted and all the problems they have solved as background knowledge while they watch the film. We will point out concepts that we recognize along with concepts that may have not been included in the novel.
