Today we will: Identify common
characteristics to describe features in images.
Identify geologic processes and features and how they form on Earth.
Create a list of criteria to identify geologic features.
Use criteria to identify features on other planetary bodies.
“Build” a planetary comparison feature wall.
Designed using the 5-E MODEL OF INQUIRY

BLUE MARBLE MATCHESCONTEXT FOR ACTIVITY:• NASA explores planetary bodies, including Earth, to better
understand our Solar System.
•How do scientists determine what geologic features exist on other planets? This activity will help you understand part of that process.
•It starts with making good observations, being descriptive, and using what we know about Earth.

BLUE MARBLE MATCHESPart 1: Be Descriptive!
OPTION 1: Students could write their own descriptions of a given image in the space provided.
OPTION 2: Listen to a given DESCRIPTION and IDENTIFY which image is being described.

BEING DESCRIPTIVEListen to the image
description and try to identify the image being described.

BEING DESCRIPTIVEWhat were good
descriptive characteristics (descriptors) or good ways to describe the features in these images.

So what are these images all about?
Which images would you pair together that represent the same geologic process.

E X A M P L ENOTES: A. There is not an “even” # of images or features per category.
B. Focus in on what you feel is the “main” feature in each image.C. Think about what you may be unsure about.
ARRANGE IMAGES BY GEOLOGIC PROCESSBe sure to think about and discuss the Feature Criteria/Key Words and
Geologic Feature.
