This is a great end of the year activity! I actually created it especially to keep students engaged at the end of the school year. It could also be a culminating project for an astronomy or planetary science unit.
This project allows students to plan, sketch, and build a Mars Rover in the classroom out of recyclable items from home. Students have a certain budget that they must keep to during the building of their rover. There is also an activity for students to create their own mission patch for their rover mission. Rubrics are included in the activity, as well as, photos from my own student creations.
Thanks!

I was so excited to see this TeachersPayTeachers!! I was a NASA "Students' Signatures in Space" teacher for 10 years. One year my students signed a special NASA website and their signatures were burned to a CD and sent to Mars on the Rover. The funniest thing ever was when one of my 5th grade boys made a comment that he wasn't sure if he should sign his name and town. When I asked him why.... He said "Well Mrs. S, if I do sign it, the Martians might know where I live"... I could barely keep a straight face as I assured him that there are no Martians..LOL!!. A perfect teaching moment!! :)

That is hilarious! I have also had many dealings with NASA. I was a NASA Explorer Schools team lead in my last school. I also applied to be an Educator Astronaut in 2003. I really loved building Mars Rovers with my 7th grade last year. They did an awesome job!
