To Mars and Back
Humans have dreamed of visiting Mars since the 1880s, but getting there isn’t easy. Using a game board modeled after the orbits of Mars and Earth, student teams will plot a course to Mars and back. As they plan their Mars mission, students will use the same navigation method that NASA uses for interplanetary travel - the Hohmann Transfer Orbit. You can use this STEM activity, and the included Rover's slideshow to introduce a Solar System unit or a Mars rover design project. In addition to plann
