A Rover’s Story - Rock and Roll Rover
When Res lands on Mars she will encounter various terrain that she must navigate successfully.
Can you create wheels that will help navigate her through the terrain? This is part one of a four part lesson plan that follows A Rover's Story. The objective of this lesson is for students to create wheels for their Edison robot to help navigate the terrain just like Res needs to do in the story.

Go through different STEM, reading, and writing activities with Roz and her friends in The Wild Robot. Students will problem solve, participate in discussions, and learn about artificial intelligence
Students work as engineers using the Engineering Design Process to design and create a parachute that will safely land a "rover" on Mars! This STEM activity uses easy-to-gather materials for parachute
This lesson takes place in a classroom over two weeks. Students may work in small groups of 2-3. Prior to the robotics challenge, teachers should facilitate student discussion through guided lessons
