In this assessment, you will look at what is currently known about the planet, what can be inferred from it, and how to learn more about it.
Kepler-186f is said to sit in the habitable zone. This means that it can support life – although scientists are not sure whether this is in fact the case. What do scientists need to discover about the planet to be able to conclude that it could support life?
Success Criteria:
• I wrote full sentences in paragraph form
• I explained four facts scientists would need to determine about Kepler-186f
• I explained how this information would help to conclude if it could support life or not

B) Moons on Kepler-186f
Scientists do not yet know whether Kepler-186f has any moons. It would be important to determine whether this is the case, since our moon plays such an important role for us here on Earth.
State and explain three (3) roles that our moon plays that may also be potential roles that one would play on Kepler-186f.
