Aim: To learn about Mars exploration.

1. Rover facts 
2. Design, Draw and Make a Rover
3. Mars facts

1. Rover facts: 

What are the 5 parts for? 
Link: Rovers 5 parts

Fill in the table below.

Name:Chrysler	Purpose:
Wheels	A rover needs six wheels so that it can drive over big rocks and piles of sand.
LSolar Panel	A rover needs solar panels so that it can contain power in able for it to start moving.
Laser	A rover needs a laser so that people can identify rocks and sand on Mars.
Camera	A rover needs a camera so that people can take photos of rocks and sand from Mars and so that people can see from the rover.
Shovel, rock pick,drill	A rover needs a shovel in case it gets stuck in sand and to dig down into the ground to find out information about Mars arover needs a pick to mine crystals or anything same with a drill.

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

Forensics

THE FEET CAN MEASURE THE HEIGHT

The bones of the feet can tell a lot about a person. What do feet reveal about a person's height? Forensic anthropologists team up with law enforcers to help solve crimes.

Bones of the feet can reveal an interesting fact about an individual. Let's combine math with forensics to see how.

Aim:  To use forensic science techniques to measure the height of a criminal.

Material:

1.  1 metre ruler
2.  Your self

Steps:

1.  Get a metre ruler
2.  Mesure your hight
3.  Mesure your foot length
4.  Record your information

Findings:

Name	Foot  (cm)	Height (cm)
Chrysler	22(cm)	143(cm)
Angus	21(cm)	140(cm)

15 is the number used by investigators to determine a persons height based on their feet. This is because 15% of a persons height is the length of their foot.

Find out what percentage of your height is your feet. To do this you need to:
Divide the length of each person's foot by his/her height then multiply it by 100.
