What is Marsbound!?
• project-based STEM activity• students in grades 4-12• plan an unmanned mission• use reality-based science goals,
engineering constraints, and economic guidelines

Why MARS?
• Surface conditions
• Similar geology
• Availability of water
• Atmosphere (thin)
• Natural conditions similar to arctic and Antarctic

NASA Marsbound
Activity 1:
Exploring Mission Science Goals(page 4 TG, page 4 SG)
• Students become familiar with the “Follow the Water” strategy/goals for exploring Mars
• Students match goals to Mars features
![Page 13: Mission to Mars PPT](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061415/563db808550346aa9a8fef94/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
NASA Marsbound
Activity 2:
Choosing Mission Science Goals(page 5 TG, page 7 SG)
• Students discuss possible Science goals for their mission
• Students choose 5 Science goals for their mission

Mars Design Challenge
• Note* mass requirements and allotments on cards
• Note* energy requirements for a mission• Note* budget requirements for a mission:
One million dollars
![Page 19: Mission to Mars PPT](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061415/563db808550346aa9a8fef94/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Mars Design Challenge
Using your Mission Cards, Design mat, and Design Log, plan a Mission to Mars.
When your Mission is ready to submit (you have calculated within budget, power and mass limitations), ask for your problem card. Discuss in your group how your problem card will impact your Mission.
(As time allows.) Choose someone from your group to report out to the group at large.
