Camera	The camera is need because so people can see what and where it going trough.
Shovel, rock pick,drill	It could potentially pave away for future missions that could collect the samples and return them to earth for intensive laboratory analysis.

2. In groups of 3 you will Design, Draw and Make a Mars Rover out of Lego Technics.

Materials:

1. Lego Technics
2. A4 paper
3. Pencil
4. Ruler
5. Eraser

The drawing and model must have:

• 6 wheels
• 1 camera
• 1 tool at the front than includes a shovel, pick and drill.
• 1 solar panel
• 1 laser that points at the ground

( Take a photo and upload  your mars rover onto your blog.)

Conclusion: Write about what you have learnt.

1. You need to know about the rover facts so you can draw it.

2.After you draw it you need to feel in the table below and right there the purpose.

3.make sure that you are in your groups of three so you can make a mars rover made of lego tenchnics.

4.After you make it you need to give it to the teacher so they can put it in the right place.
