6th + 7th – To Mars and Beyond

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.
