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:	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	Without power, the rover cannot move, use its science instruments, or communicate with Earth. Mars 2020 carries a radioisotope power system. This power system produces a dependable flow of electricity using the heat of plutonium's.

Camera	Ever wonder what it would be like to have an "astronaut's" view of landing on Mars? When the Curiosity rover landed on Mars, it recorded the descent and landing with its Mars Descent Imager or "MARDI" camera. The view was extremely valuable to engineers; it helped them understand what happens during one of the riskiest parts of the mission

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.)

AIM: TO LEARN ABOUT THE NATURE OF PLANTS

Carnivorous Plants

Plants fall into two categories:

1. Evergreen

2. Deciduous

Deciduous

2.   Ink pad. 
3.  Balloon. 

Steps

1. put you finger on the ink pad (  roll it in the ink pad softly. )  
2.   put you finger on the balloon ( try not to mess it up. )  
3.    blow it up .
4.   

Insert two pictures here of your fingerprints
