Roving with Rosalind - Primary activities

Roving with Rosalind is an education and outreach project which presents Mars mission based classroom activities for primary schools as well as activity groups. This collection of resources is funded by the UK Space Agency, and give pupils the opportunity to complete activities such as deciding a launch plan and designing a Mars Rover to identifying samples the rover has detected. The recommended order for these activities would be to first complete a landing site selection, before designing and making your own rover and instruments, then complete an analogue mission and sample analysis before finally creating some computer code for your mission. These resources link closely with the computing, science, mathematics and design and technology curriculum.
