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	So it can move around.
Solar Panel	They were made to maximise the solar cells th at take the collects the energy of the sun.
Laser	It is used to destroy meteorites.
Camera	It is used to record things
Shovel, rock pick,drill	Mars has a lot of iron oxide in its planet, A drilled sample of it will help scientist

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.

3. Mars Facts
Link: Facts

You will need to find out the following:

Fact	Earth	Mars
Picture of planet
Length of 1 year	365 days	687
Length of 1 day	24 hours	1 day and 37 mins
Distance from the sun	149.6 million km	227.9 million
Distance from Earth.	9.807 m/s	33.9 million
Gravity:		3.711
Colour:	any colour contains brown	Red
Temperature	-88 to 57 C	195 degrees F
Rainfall	39 inches	18 to 22 m/s
Atmosphere	78% oxygen 21%of other gasses	95.32 carbon dioxide    2.7 nitrogen
Surface	510. 1 million km	144.8 million km
Moons and names	Moon	Phobos Deimos

Conclusion:I learnt about different types of moons, about our atmosphere ,the temperature, rainfall, surface ,colour, gravity, distance and length of dyad year.It was really cool to know that in mars years it can take almost 2 years in mars to go to another year. And also there is 37 more minutes for the day in mars! It was really cool learning all these new facts about mars.ds@hornby.school.nzSciene blog
