Precious Cargo: A Safer Landing
In this unit, students will study the effects of atmospheric pressure and air resistance on objects to engineer a landing apparatus to land cargo in space. They will then write a Claim based on Evidence and Reasoning (CER) to showcase their best prototype. This unit ideally requires four to five days for full implementation, but includes accommodations for a two day simulation.
