First quarter project: NASA Rover Challenge

Over the past several weeks I've been brainstorming ideas for the 1st quarter project involving integers and the coordinate plane with an aerospace flavor.  I partially filled out project planning forms for a few initial ideas: "Mars Urban Planning Challenge" and "Mars Mini-Putt Design Challenge."  After continued research and brainstorming, I encountered a rover game on NASA's website and decided to turn it into an extended project.  I borrowed some ideas from the GTT teacher for the project sheet.  I'm still finalizing the project planning form.  Click on the "NASA Rover Challenge" link below to view the project record sheet or click HERE.


Here are the drafted forms for the project:
NASA Rover Challenge
Command Sequence Record Sheet
Terrain Budget Record Sheet
Collaboration Rubric
Sojourner Rover Model
10 x 10 Coordinate Grids (for possible solutions)
10 x 10 Grid - Final Terrain Design
