With the advent of technologies allowing for interactive web pages, the web has become a promising environment for informal education and inquiry based investigations. MarsQuest Online is an NSF funded program to extend MarsQuest, a 5000 square foot traveling museum exhibit on Mars developed by the Space Science Institute (SSI). More than a simple virtualization of the exhibit, MarsQuest Online is designed to extend the scope of the exhibit by providing visitors with opportunities to delve deeper into Mars science at various levels of sophistication. The MarsQuest online project, a partnership between TERC, SSI, and JPL, will capitalize on the power of the web as an informal environment for interactive, inquiry-based investigations. In addition to the virtual version of the MarsQuest exhibit, the site will include a series integrated, interactive activities and "Guided Inquiries" that will allow visitors to explore concepts in more depth than is possible in an exhibit environment.
