This collection provides 4 units of work linked to Design and Technology, which explore the need for exploration robots, how they work, how their systems collect data and an understanding of the specialised materials and mechanisms they use. All activities centre around the ExoMars Mission and the Rosalind Franklin Rover, which is set to explore Mars in 2022.
The units:
What are Space Robots?- 5-7 years
How does the ExoMars Rover Work? 7-11 years
Design a New Mars Rover 11-14 years
Investigating the Engineering of the ExoMars Rover 14-16 years

Martian Explorers: What are Space Robots?
This resource provides a series of lessons designed to help children understand the need for exploration robots and learn about how they work. The activities link mostly to D&T with a science context, though some of the activities are more focussed on learning in English.
The activities are:

Martian Explorers: How does the ExoMars Rover Work?
This resource provides a series of 1 hour lessons designed to help children understand the need for exploration robots and learn about how they function. They are based around the European Space Agency’s (ESA) new robotic rover Rosalind Franklin...
Martian Explorers: Design a New Mars Rover
Aimed at the 11-14 age group, this is a unit of six one-hour design and technology lessons to develop an understanding of how systems on exploration robots are combined and collect data. Students are given a design brief to build their own model rover, experientially, to function in simulated Martian conditions....
Martian Explorers: Investigating the Engineering of the ExoMars Rover
This is a unit of three two hour lessons to consolidate understanding of the specialised materials and mechanisms used on exploration robots. Students build or test, or build and test these to develop knowledge and evaluate them. These resources are aimed at the 14-16 age group. The context is focussed on the...
