Ever wanted to take your students on an exciting journey? What if you could take that journey from the comfort of the classroom or out-of-school learning environment? Welcome to Mission to Mars!

Over the course of these lessons, you and your students will learn about and plan a mission to Mars. Your students will apply their creativity and science and math knowledge to explore the Red Planet. Not a scientist or engineer? That's okay! You're going to learn everything you need to know while preparing for and conducting these lessons. And you actually already have some engineering skills, whether you know it or not.

In this unit, students learn about Mars, design a mission to explore the planet, build and test model spacecraft and components, and engage in scientific exploration. The unit takes students through seven stages, including learning about the planet, planning the mission, designing the spacecraft, launching, landing, surface operations, and sample handling.

My action plan is currently focusing on including questions for deeper understanding (Blooms Taxonomy) in both Science and ELA 8. I wanted to also focus on using the 6 Thinking Hats of Debono alongside Blooms Taxonomy question in ELA to guide but not direct discussion on specific topics (Black Negative, Yellow Positive, Blue control, etc.) as well as integrating basic technology into PE games (Heart rate monitors, mileage/stepper counters during activity to measure distance covered, etc.) with a focus on eventually using more in depth tech in PE (QR codes, etc.)
