Mars Resource Transport Build Challenge
In this engaging lesson, students will design and build a Mars Resource Transport (basically a wagon) on wheels and axles. They have to meet build criteria based on volume and a budget for resources. The transport will be used for carrying resources on Mars to get water, food, and oxygen from different locations on Mars to the colony location.
Links to additional Mars lessons and helpful resources are included!
