1. Aliens in Sci-Fi

BRAINSTORMING TIME!!

Although Earth’s life is the only one we know so far, aliens are very much present in our collective imagination and have been so for a very long time and in many different forms!

Ask yourselves:

  • How are aliens and other life forms beyond Earth depicted in movies, books, or art pieces you know?
  • Do you believe aliens exist? Why or why not?
  • If yes, do you think there is a lot of them out there in the Universe? What do you think they look like? How different from us?
  • Do these ideas make you want to look for life in the Universe and learn more about the possible existence of aliens?
