This is a fun project that has the students design and build their own Mars Rover. After learning about the other rovers on Mars, the students will be given "Mars Money" and they will build and design a rover. They will also decide what ten items they would take to Mars and they will keep a running expense sheet of what they have "purchased" in order to make their rover. I have added notes, lists of items that you will need, pictures to give examples and have included a science reading of Life on Mars by Jennifer Brown that I use during this period of learning about Mars Rovers.
