| Description | Students recreate the classic egg-drop experiment with an analogy to the Mars rover landing. Students design and build their lander within a pre-determined budget to help reinforce a real-world design scenario. The purpose of this activity is to recreate the classic egg-drop experiment with an analogy to the Mars rover landing. The concept of terminal velocity will be introduced, and students will perform several velocity calculations. Also, students will have to design and build their lander within a pre-determined budget to help reinforce a real-world design scenario. |
