What If We Wanted to Farm on Mars?

Cosmo has decided to start a new hobby: Gardening! It looks pretty easy, so he plants a seed on martian soil, waters it, and waits… for a long time! What is going on with that seedling? Luckily, Geofriend is there to help him and explains that Mars and Earth are similar in some ways, but Mars doesn’t have the right conditions for farming. But, what if we could farm on Mars? 00:00 Gardening project 01:29 Simulation starts 01:53 Earth vs. Mars 02:28 Photosynthesis 05:02 Activity Get the Cosmo t-shirt: https://shop.whatifshow.com/products/... Cosmo is an animated robot from another planet that takes young viewers on a journey of scientific discovery. Each episode is curricula-based (grades 1 to 4), covering biology, structures and mechanisms, matter and energy, and Earth and space science. Cosmo is learning with the help of real kids that are the experts in each field. At the end of each video, Cosmo shares a fun exercise kids can demonstrate to their families using common objects found around the house.
