Abstract
In this activity, students use the famous Drake equation to estimate the probability of intelligent life existing elsewhere in our galaxy. Many students (some fascinated by the possibility of life beyond our planet) will be interested in this activity once they realise that the computer can do the difficult mathematics. However, the calculations are actually straightforward enough to be done with paper and pencil.
