How did the Earth form? How do planets form? How can we search for life beyond Earth?  Students will participate in a number of evening and day trips to learn about different aspects of Planetary Science. Typically, we will visit Mt Stromlo (night sky viewing), UNSW-Canberra (Impact Dynamics Research Laboratory) and field sites in the Canberra region (Martian analog field sites). During these visits, students will make observations that will be used in the assessments and have the opportunity to ask practicing planetary scientists about their work and career.
