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
| Rover has six wheels, each with its own individual motor. the front two wheels and rear wheels also have individual motor, the four-wheel steering allows the rover to make arcing turns. |

Shovel, rock pick, drill
| the shovel, rock pick, and drill were helped rover to gather samples from the rocks. |
2. In groups of 3 you will Design, Draw and Make a Mars Rover out of Lego Technics.
