With Ms Elder in Science, we are designing and building our own model rovers!
Yesterday, we researched Mars, to learn about its conditions, and what scientists are studying there. We discovered the rovers that have been sent to Mars and what their jobs were.
Today, we had time to design on our own rover. Then Ms Elder gave us a partner. We had to collaborate, combining our ideas to make one plan and material list.
Our rovers need to have:
- a compartment that can open (to store samples in)
- an arm to collect samples
- wheels that move
Tomorrow (Friday), we will bring home a copy of our plans and material lists. Our rovers will be made out of recyclable materials brought from home.
We will be building on WEDNESDAY, MARCH 11. We need to bring materials from home to build with.
Here are some pics of us planning. :)
