Our Science Unit on Extreme Environments, Exploration and Space will finish with a project in which students will draw on everything they've learned to design their own space station/vehicle.
Students will work alone or in pairs (their choice) to 1) design a space vehicle that can support life, 2) transport astronauts to Mars, 3) land humans and/or a rover on the Red Planet, 4) launch their lander back to their vehicle in orbit, and 4) return their human crew back to Earth's orbit safe and sound.
Students will design their space vehicle on paper, first as a rough copy and then as a larger good copy. And, if they wish, students may also build a 3D model of their design at home.

The project will be due on the final day of classes before Winter Holidays: Dec. 18th.
