Finding life on Mars: The rovers.

Hello everyone!
Today's post is devoted to share the project we are doing in Year 6 due to our Cultural Week, which is going to be about "The Universe".

The second period has been in charged of topics connected to the Space Race and all the scientific discoveries and advances that have allowed us to discover more about celestial bodies.

Therefore, I decided to focus my students' attention on the different robots that have been sent to Mars throughout the years: Sojourner, Spirit and Opportunity, Curiosity and Mars 2020.

The first thing I did was adapting the information I got from this web to my students' level, creating the following worksheet:

Then, children had to read the texts and pull out some information about the different Rovers, completing a worksheet with different graphic organizers:

Finally, students had to transfer the information gathered in the graphic organizers into some mini-books designed by themselves, being used later on to create a lapbook.

I will update this post with the photos of the final result as soon as they finish.

What do you think of the project?
