Aim: To learn about Mars exploration.
1. Rover facts
2. Design, Draw and Make a Rover
3. Mars facts
1. Rover facts:
Fill in the table below.
Name:
|
Purpose:
|
Wheels
| to move around on Mars. they have 6 wheels and all of them have a motor. |

| This is to get power and energy for the rover to move because if there was no power it would not move. |
Laser
| . It allows the rover to control its own use of ChemCam, an instrument that learns the chemical composition of rocks by zapping them with a laser and studying the resulting gasses. |
Camera
| The rover has several cameras focused on engineering and science tasks. Some help us land on Mars, while others serve as our “eyes” on the surface to drive around. We use others to do scientific observations and aid in the collection of samples. |
Shovel, rock pick,drill
| to dig and to find stuff in the rocks and sand also to pick |
2. In groups of 3 you will Design, Draw and Make a Mars Rover out of Lego Technics.
Materials:
Materials:
- Lego Technics
- A4 paper
- Pencil
- Ruler
- Eraser
The drawing and model must have:
- 6 wheels
- 1 camera
- 1 tool at the front than includes a shovel, pick and drill.
- 1 solar panel
- 1 laser that points at the ground
( Take a photo and upload your mars rover onto your blog.)
