How to get to Mars

Aim: To learn about Mars exploration.

1. Rover facts 

2. Design, Draw and Make a Rover

3. Mars facts

1. Rover facts: 

What are the 5 parts for? 
Link: Rovers 5 parts

Fill in the table below.

Name: Khaylanie	Purpose:
Wheels	The wheels Also have individual steering motors. This steering capability allows the vehicle to turn in place, a full 360 degrees. The four-wheel steering also allows the rover to swerve and curve, making arcing turns.
Solar Panel	it produces electricity from the sun so that the rover can move.
Laser	The SuperCam on the Mars 2020 rover examines rocks and soils with a camera, laser and spectrometers to seek organic compounds that could be related to past life on Mars. It can identify the chemical and mineral makeup of targets as small as a pencil point from a distance of more than 20 feet (7 meters).
Camera	The camera sends photos back to NASA. It can do 3 point 60 turn.
Shovel, rock pick,drill	The Mars 2020 mission will gather samples from Martian rocks and soil using its drill. The rover will then store the sample cores in tubes on the Martian surface. This entire process is called "sample caching".

2. In groups of 3 you will Design, Draw and Make a Mars Rover out of Lego Technics.
Materials:

1. Lego Technics
2. A4 paper
3. Pencil
4. Ruler
5. 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.)

Conclusion: Write about what you have learnt.

Today I was working with Bailey, Anneleise, Janel and Keyana The first thing we did was watch a video of a spaceship going to mars to deliver a robot. Today I learnt that mars is 70 degrees It must be really hot. The second thing I learnt was that mars moons and names are Phobos and Deimos and earth is just moon.
