In brief

In this activity, students will communicate with a rover on Mars. The objective of the mission is to send an automatic message from Earth to a rover located on Mars via an Orbiter. This message is sent by a programmed, LEGO-built, robot running an automatic switch. The rover on Mars receives the code via a LEGO light sensor, and students analyse and model the data to translate the message. Students learn how a basic telescope works by magnifying images of Mars using two lenses.

Age range: 12-16 years old
Keywords: Rover, Mars, communication, signal, mission, hypothesis, program, sensor.
Subjects: Technology, Programming, Physics

Students will learn:

  • To understand optical propagation of a light source

  • To model a light ray

  • To verify the law of light reflection on a plane mirror

  • To magnify an object with lenses: bi concave and bi convex

  • To model data or processes to answer scientific questions

  • To develop scientific research experiments and engineering skills, for controlling individual experiment parameters

  • To collect data with a sensor

  • To use a robotic tool to explore scientific content

  • To work and communicate as a team
