Moon Landers
In this lesson, students will design and create a model of a moon lander that can land smoothly on the surface of the moon. Students will learn about the mission to the moon and how engineers designed landers in the past. They will think about the forces that are acting on the lander and choose materials that can absorb the shock force of the impact. Students will design, build, test and improve upon their design to safely land their astronauts on the moon.
