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
| The Mars 2020 rover has six wheels, each with its own individual motor. The two front and two rear 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
| solar panels produce energy from the sunlight. |
Laser
| lasers is a thin light |
Camera
| cameras are your form filming and taking photos |
Shovel, rock pick, drill
| To dig a hole on the mars and collect information if there is water on Mars and picking up stones. |
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 that 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.)
