3035 Space OdysseyThe year is 3035, and you are a traveler from earth investigating the
new frontier: space. Earth has become so over-populated that people have begun traveling to the moon to set up a human settlement. You will be creating a community that can sustain human life. Be sure to include the different non-living essentials of life in your design! What do you want your settlement to look like?
Part 1: Plan your designOver the course of ten school days, you will be responsible for creating a diorama of your settlement on the moon. This settlement can be set up however you like as long as it can sustain human life.a) What are the four essentials to life that need to be considered when you
are planning your design?1. _______________________________________________________
