We took a break from our look at the government and our community and instead focused on something out of this world: Mars (more specifically, the Perseverance rover). We looked at the amazing mathematical feat of landing the rover. Students calculated the rover’s speed and altitude while landing. A copy of our work can be found here. We also watched the landing video, which can be found here.
I hope students remember this incredible moment in time as they grow up. Thank you for making sure to focus on this historic event.
