In brief
Students will design and develop an entire space mission to Mars. The objective of the mission is to send a programmed LEGO rover to the surface of the Red Planet and study water state changes. Students will take temperature measurements and interpret the data collected to understand how the temperature of a substance evolves during a change of state (liquid to solid and solid to liquid).
Age range: 12-16 years old
Keywords: Rover, Mars, mission, program, sensor, change of state, temperature
Subjects: Technology, Programming, Physics
Students will learn:
To program a robot to reach a location
To collect data with a temperature sensor
To use robotic tools to explore scientific content
To develop scientific experiments and engineering skills, for determining and controlling individual experiment parameters
To design an experimental procedure to observe different types of state changes
To identify temperature steps on a graph
To schematise state changes
To model data or processes to answer scientific questions
To work and communicate together as a team
