A Rover’s Story - Engineering Challenge 4 Safe Landing
When Res is hurling towards Mars, he needs a parachute that will help him land safely. Can you design a parachute that will help Res land safely on Mars?
Students will design a parachute using coffee filters and will determine what canopy size is the safest for Res to use to land on Mars in this engaging and hands-on lesson.

Students will design and build their own popsicle stick catapults, exploring principles of force, motion, and engineering. This lesson does have a Halloween theme to it, but can be modified is needed.
This thematic unit has four lessons which introduce students to engineering, the engineering design process, and facing challenges. Over the course of the four lessons, students will learn how to
From this lesson, students will discover how friction affects how things move. This is an excellent activity that will allow students to be creative and build a marble run to show friction. This
