History of Mars exploration taught us about
evolving technology and how it changes our
scientific understanding of Mars Knowing what
you now know about Mars, what kind of spacecraft
would you want to send to Mars? Why/What would it
do? Design a spacecraft to go to Mars not
looking at landing site possibilities, though you
could throw that in with students Each group
gets a board and a set of cards hand out boards
and cards Given approximately one hour to
design your spacecraft After you have
designed your spacecraft, we will roll the dice
to see if your rocket will successfully launch
and get you to Mars
